Dropdown menus like Dashboard picker and time picker dont need to rely on a selected state because they selected state remains in the menu. In this case, I propose we use a variation on the row highlight, rather than introducing another interface element or icon. \r\n\r\nNote: The gif compression seems to be messing with the background color a bit, but in this case, the selected item will have a grey background row.
