    Selecting desktop gives a white outlined box instead of blue transparent box

    When selecting items on the desktop, it is simple white outlined box. I remember it being a blue transparent box. I'm no longer sure is it blue??? Selecting items though file explorer gives a bluish box. How can I change it back to normal?

    When selecting with the pointer, I get the following white outlined box:

    Any thoughts?

    Can I remove this selection outline? Whenever I have selected anything and click anywhere else, the outline stays on the folder. I'd like to remove this feature. Thanks!
