small thing, but when in use the autofilter downward arrow highlights blue.
looking at a row of auto filter arrows (that are black) it is hard to tell
which filter you have got selected. Can you change the colour? if not why not?

You can't change the color.
Because excel won't let you.

I strongly agree that the default blue color for an "in-use" filter is nearly
impossible to distinguish from the black "not in-use" color. I would suggest
that even if users cannot change the color, make the default in-use color
very different (e.g. red, white, etc.) -- that fix should be a very simple
substitution change in the code, whereas allowing users to change it would
probably take more effort/time. Thanks.
