I didn't try it yet, but will it work for layers with the following
colors:

- white layers (e.g., silk) or black layers?

- layers with colors like red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, etc. where
  all of R,G,B are either 0.0 or 1.0 (normalized scale)?

A more general solution, and one that won't affect the accurate
representation of the layer color by the swatch, is to draw a 1 or 2
pixel wide border around the swatch when the mouse hovers over that
layer button.

Regards,
Colin
