I tend to agree; pretty is nice, but when somebody has opted to use a
focus indicator this large, we're venturing more deeply into the realms
of function over form.  Provided it does the job without actually being
distracting to the people who need it, I say go for it.

(That's not to say that a "pretty" alternative that was equally
functional wouldn't be nice, but I wouldn't say it was essential at this
stage.)

Cheeri,
