Description Helder Guerreiro 2024-01-22 00:30:48 UTC
Description:
The selection cell highlight (references) is very thin and difficult to see. Example: https://i.imgur.com/4zIOH7o.png (linux).

At least from my experience the display DPI does not influence this.

It would help to be able to configure this thickness and, possibly, further style this, for example with area coloring, or use animated borders seen in excel ( https://i.imgur.com/lXAkVpH.png ). The color we can already change in the options dialog.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a spreadsheet in calc
2. Type '=' or '+' in a cell and use the mouse or arrow keys to select another cell


Actual Results:
The selection cell highlight is very thin (for me)

Expected Results:
I would like to spot the selection cell highlight without effort even if I'm distracted by something else.


Reproducible: Always
