Outlook 2013 drag&drop highlight

Hi.

A simple question about Outlook 2013., regarding drag & drop of messages into a folder...

I select a message in the message preview pane, and it highlights pale blue.

I drag it to a folder in the folders pane, and the folder I am hovering over highlights with a really faint pale blue which is almost impossible to see; I really have to concentrate and peer at it close up.

Is there a setting to make that highlight more distinct?

Thanks for looking!

    From Outlook select File then Options. On the general tab change the Office Theme to Dark Grey - this will change your folders bar (and other stuff) dark grey and make the blue a bit easier to see against it than the default white

    Thanks - that helped; just like you said, it made the folders pane background grey (not too dark, either), so the pale blue highlighting of the target folder has something to contrast against.
