Well, not sure that helps with this bug then.

We cannot just add an option for every possibility that people may want, that would make the code clumsy, bloated, unreadable and un-maitainable in the long term and that would be not acceptable to me :p

Grayed out is the selection, the color depends on the gtk theme you've chosen. It looks better in colors, admittedly, but there is nothing I can do about it (there is already an option).

Software evolves, gets improved, some changes happen just like anything in life. Older versions are not maintained, but the choice is yours, always, of course...
Please note that bugzilla is neither a mailing list nor a forum, even less a support tool, it's intended to track bugs and not to discuss what you like or don't like in a particular version, so I'd rather keep focused on what's described in comment #0.
