Latest KDE versions and some patched KDE 3.4.x versions (e.g. SUSE 10) have a nice semi-transparent selection that works in Konqueror and on the desktop. I´d lile to change its color but can find no appropriate option, nowhere...
I have added a small screenshot to show what I talk about.
AFAIK, this is a SuSE-addition which cannot be found in vanilla KDE. So it's not possible to enable/disable/configure it within default KDE configuration settings.
The color of the translucent selection seems to be tied to the background color for selected text, which can be set in the Control Center.
For anyone interested, the translucent selection effect can be enabled through the "Appearance & Themes > Style" dialog in Control Center. On the "Effects" tab, change the "Rubberband effect" option to "Make translucent". This works for Debian, but I don't know if the effect's implementation is distro-specific or if it's present in the standard KDE.
