#8 Blue selection circle is ugly
The blue circle used to display to the user which interface they're actively controlling is quite ad-hoc, rushed, and not very aesthetically pleasing. It often does not perfectly match the item it is circling, it's too opaque, and there's probably a better way to tell the user what they're controlling.
An animated cursor of some sort would really help this out. For example, a simple ring around the currently selected item that changes colors (subtly) would make it clear, and look much nicer.

Changed the color of the circles to be a little more opaque, and contrast against the red selection color. They also stay after the user has moved on to a new selection state, in a duller color. However, I've noticed some problems with the alphabet lining. The location of the circle is decided based on a percentage through the widget, but it seems to be off by a little. Needs further investigation.
