Default Appearance of a selected range

In XP the active cell in a selected range is the only unshaded cell. Is
there a way to view this way in 2007 or is it abnormal that all cells are now
unshaded?

Selected but inactive cells appear shaded to me in Excel 2007, although it's
lighter than before. See attached.

The shading is extremely light in 2007, and sometimes I cannot easily
distinguish the selection on my screen.

I'm curious, Jon, whether you (and others) get less shading than I do or if
you think that shading is inadequate (both per the attached JPG).

Your image file is more heavily shaded than I see on the screen of my old
laptop (the only machine I trust to Excel 2003).

I've been searching for the answer to this only for a short while... The
selected but inactive cells on my screens (both my laptop and either of my
two monitors) is virtually indistinguishable from the unselected and inactive
cells. What setting in "Display" or in the Themes will adjust this?
