Bug Description

On the advanced tab in the properties window, where I can set the owner and who can read/write/execute a file, its hard to tell who can do what as the difference between something clicked and something unclicked is not visible enough I think.
The clicked parte should look deeper/darker.

In my original mockup I had these as comboboxes. Though it's potentially a wee bit slower if you're only changing 1 permission, I think it's much more explicit. Potential options would be:

Read Only
Read & Execute (Only for files)
Read & Write
Read, Write, & Execute (Only for files)
Write Only (Only for folders)
