Because the selection color is now the system one. And you see in 
Claude's screenshots that the icon of the current panel of the option 
window is not selected either.

So as you said, either the selection color of the desktop is the same as 
the background, which would be unusual, or either the selection color 
was incorrectly detected by 'gb.gtk3', because there is no system colors 
anymore in GTK+3.

In GTK+3, you have only a global css file that is almost unparsable, and 
so you have to do some tricks to detect the selection color, that maybe 
do not work in some cases. Claude will tell us.
