Selected set in view difficult to distinguish from non selected

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Hover over a set in a graph view
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect to be able to see at a glance that the set I am focusing on is 
selected.  The selected set should stand out more.  Several ways would be 
to dim the other sets slightly, or make a soft drop shadow under the 
selected along with the slight grey outline, or use a heavier outline, or a 
brighter outline, or possible use a more vibrant color of the same hue.

What happens is that  the set graph comes to the fore, and has a slight 
grey outline.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v.2.0 on OS X 10.5.7

Please provide any additional information below.

sorry, meant to add this as an Enhancement, not a defect.

I assume you mean hover over a category bar or a ribbon connecting bars? Good 
point, and I like your 
suggestions. I'll put it on the list for the next release.

A first solution for this will be in 2.1: non-highlighted ribbons now become 
more transparent, so the highlighted 
ones stand out more. Will look into more options, like shadows, later.
