Indicating the current date in date pickers is crucial for both usability and efficiency. A subtle yet clear highlight for the current date serves as a useful anchor for users, offering a temporal reference point that aids in navigation. This minimizes the risk of date-related errors and facilitates quicker decision-making. While the indication should be obvious enough to quickly catch the eye, it shouldn't be so bold as to distract from other UI elements.
