Comment (by esmi):

 I'm a really big fan of reversing background and foreground colors, so in
 the dark default admin scheme, I'd want to see something like a blue
 background with black/dark grey text for th currently focused element.
 It's got to really "pop" for sighted keyboard navigators. triangle
 indicators are very nice as added features for onhover but I'd argue that
 they're too subtle for focus highlighting. Ditto for underlines. General
 rule of thumb: if you have to visually hunt for the currently focused
 element, then you need something else. Get it right and keyboard
 navigation becomes '''so''' much easier.
