oh sorry i think i misstated it...what i meant is the rectangle that moves when you move the up, down keys..its default color is blue..what i'm looking for is like what windows explorer has..a little bit transparent..and without the dotted rectangle surrounding it..

Dotted rectangle can be turnet off by checking Don't show focus indicator in the Explorer Panel Settings > Display
Colors can be configured in Explorer Panel Settings > Colors. Use file specified background color and Use folder specified background color options may be required to turn on.

The option "Don't show the focus indicator" if checked it will turn of the focus frame.
and then you need to customize the colors and background for "Focus" item. under the Color tab in Explorer Panel Settings.
But I do not think you can have it look exactly as Windows Explorer. You will not get the gradient color scale of the background that you get in Explorer on Win7
