No. The theme already pushes the limits of visibility, what with grey
text on a black background and all. A dimmer grey is not going to be
visible from across the room, and the Mythbuntu theme has always
emphasized its usability as part of the prototypical "10-foot
interface".

Surprisingly, some of this is themable. The ability to press PLAY in
the group pane is too valuable to change, though, especially when
there is only one entry in the recording pane.

I didn't start using it until 0.25, myself, going so far as to
disabling the rudimentary fan art support in earlier versions of the
Mythbuntu theme. 0.25 really improves on fan art support, however; I
found that fan art appeared for the vast majority of my recordings
without having to do anything. This is what motivated me to add full
fan art support to the Mythbuntu theme.
PS - I've pretty much decided to indeed revert the highlighting of the
entire focused pane.
