As you can see the screencut above, you cannot know which pane is currently selected now,  
So please apply a deep enough background color (ex. black or #1f1f1f) for current selected pane.

There is an arrow under the selected icon / pane.

The key point is “ **User cannot know which pane is currently working now** ”.

When you see the figure above, you might guess “where am I?”,  
because you don’t know which pane is selected by you.  
**but if it change to the figure below, you will know “I am on 2nd one” right now** :

That is what I mean about “ **deep background color for selected pane** ”.
