When you select a torrent in the transfer list, the row color should be distinguishable from the off-grey color that's currently being used. It is indistinguishable from the same color used by "Use alternating row colors" in Options>Behavior>Transfer List when the main qbittorrent window is out of focus (user is inside the torrent details/files/properties for example)

bumping this
When I select torrents in qB and then switch focus to another window on my screen, the selection in qB disappears (or it's in that off-grey, barely visible color that you can only see if you squint your eyes and stare at it really hard from really close.) That serves no purpose because the user has no choice but to switch focus back to qB just to see what was selected.

Make it similar to how the normal Windows explorer windows behave in terms of the selection colors when out of focus. The selection color, when out of focus, is slightly different than the in-focus color, but still easily visible.
