I am not so sure about that. The main purpose for dual pane view is to
do file operations accross panes (copy/move to other pane, drag'n'drop
etc). So in my oppinion, it is essential to have a visual indicator of
both, the source and the target location.

I agree that it should probably be some combination of background color
and border.
