As the title says, howevering over icons in nautilus makes them highlighted with a light tint. This makes icon details frustratingly difficult to see when the background theme is white, such as the default adwaita theme. 

This is more of a suggestion than a bug, but would it not be a better idea to darken the icon or at least not lighten the icons to such a great extent on mouse hover?
