Well, maybe I should use a different term here.  When you click
on an icon, it is selected, so the icon and mask are reversed.

When you double-click, the icon remains reversed, and while the
application is running, the icon is changed to an outline and
covered by a stipple pattern.

Whatever you call it, the icon of a selected or opened file or
folder is different.
