Description

It's hard to see which tile is selected (when the tiles themselves are not easily distinguishable from one another) because the selection colour is very opaque. It would be good to be able to specify the opacity of the selection colour, or have a setting that strokes the selected tile instead of filling it when enabled.

Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the tileset editor's selected-tile rendering, then determine how selection colour and tile detail are currently handled. Done means either configurable selection opacity or an optional stroked selection, with the behaviour matching the requested visual distinction.
