Borders for 2D item images according to their rarity [Mock-Up included]

Motivation:
I think I am not the only one who sometimes carries around unidentified blue items for a while thinking that they are rare items. Buy you can't tell when you quickly open your inventory to make some room for a newly dropped rare since items all have the same background color.

Suggestion:
My suggestion is to add borders to the 2d art of items according to their rarity (magic, rare or unique). Similar to Torchlight 2 or Diablo 3 (in which case the whole backgrounds have different colors, which would also be an option), where you can immediately tell which items are magic, which are rare and which are uniques. In my opinion, it would also give the current in game UI a more polished look.

I would like this. Seems like a good way how to keep better track of unique items in stash with 20+ tabs, when you are looking for something specific.

But this should be only optional - in UI settings, somehowlike the socket visibility.

They should also disable unique art in unIDed uniques. Kinda like how it was in D2.
My immersion: It's breaking it.

My little tribute to Diablo 1 aka why Diablo 3 is the worst part of the series.
