I'm having an issue with the selection UI in media stream, where in some places the current selection among a list of items is subtle and not easily identifiable. Here's an example showing the movie info screen with current selection "Trailer". The selection appears a 100 % white whereas the other options are dimmed with an opacity in the 50-70 % range:

In comparison, the other type of selection in MS which is much easier to identify:

Would it be possible to redesign the selection UI so that it's easier to identify?
