So I managed to get my system update to High Sierra (it was pretty uneventful once I got it underway). But I have a slightly weird thing going on with selected files in Finder, and I've seen the same thing on blue graphical buttons, where there's orange color on my screen that shouldn't be...

Hi, I tried unsuccessfully last night to upgrade to High Sierra. GA P55-USB3 board, i5-760, 8 GB RAM, GTX 970. Not wanting to bork my working install that's been running well for like 2 years, I cloned my El Capitan boot drive to a USB HDD, installed Clover 4700 to a usb stick, ran the installer...
