Brightening the selection in Pcbnew works well because the background is dark 
and most of the colours are reasonably dark, so there’s a good bit of room to 
make the difference between selected and not selected noticeable.

This is less true in Eeschema, mainly because of the white background.

I’ve been thinking of using the magenta colour for both net highlighting and 
cross-probing, and then using the bright red we use today for cross-probing for 
selection.  This does mean that selections would no longer have differentiated 
colours within (between components, wires, etc.), but I think might work better 
than the not-very-noticeable state we have today.

Thoughts?

(I also thought about putting a yellow drop-shadow under selected items so that 
they “glowed”, but this is going to put a lot more overhead on OpenGL when 
large chunks of the schematic are selected.)
