Example:

func NewTreeNode(text string) *TreeNode {
	return &TreeNode{
// before
		selectedTextStyle: tcell.StyleDefault.Foreground(Styles.PrimitiveBackgroundColor).Background(Styles.PrimaryTextColor),
// after
		selectedTextStyle: tcell.StyleDefault.Reverse(true),
	}
}

This also applies to Form, List, etc.
