we think broader considering the case where function node may contain
thousands of functions and then scrolling to previously selected function
will become tougher.

Also, If we implement search by typing on selected node in future as in
pgAdmin3, the selected node will be highlighted but finding selected node
among other nodes will be painful due to lighter blue background..

​Two reasons:

1. If i select a function having long name from a list of 150 functions and
then switch to query tool and then again i look for selected function,
being light blue background it gets difficult to find selected function
among 150 functions.

If background would be dark blue, it is easier to spot.

2. I liked the node selection in pgAdmin3 where selected node is
highlighted with dark blue background. In pgAdmin4, only label of selected
node is highlighted with light blue.

If this patch seems unreasonable, please ignore the patch.
