Options never hurt, makes Thunar feature rich and very customizable for
users own needs. Quite poor comparison though, you never need to select
an link or several links from a web page, nor move or copy it same way
than with file managers.

This hover-highlighting improves user-friendliness pretty much, how
about leaving the the option on as default when using single click?
