That's a good point, it is subtle. I'll ask UX to consider make hover mode in this theme mode. One possible workaround for you is to switch to 'compact' mode which has a much more obvious hover state.

Thanks for your feedback. Yesterday we merged from nightly into Beta for the 57 release and only high-priority stability and usability changes are being accepted. We are not going to remove photon, in fact most feedback has been very positive.

Not sure this is worth tracking, though we could still take a fix early in beta.

Stephen, what do you think about this? Would you/UX like to come up with a way to highlight the hover state more or is this WONTFIX?

It might be too subtle. Putting this on the list of visual things to evaluate post 57. Thanks!
