Thats with the 'selection' color; indeed not the effect I was after.
Please start
    kcmshell icons
go to the advanced tab; and click on one of the 'Set Effect...' buttons.
Toggle the 'Semi-transparent' button at the bottom to see the effect I mean.
Indeed it does not go to black; but uses the color of the background of the
window.
