Also another thing - despite I am modifying colours, changes do not appear on the site. For example - the link to Active Language should be darker.

Since your language switcher was added in the Elementor template, the changes you make in WPML → Languages will not have any effect. You will need to edit the Elementor template where the language was added and style it from there.

I am attaching the screenshot for you to review.

Yep. Unfortunately there is no "Active" option, just Normal and Hover, which ain't cool.

Any workarounds?

Only using custom CSS. For example:

.wpml-elementor-ls .wpml-ls li.wpml-ls-current-language {
    background-color: #848484;
}

You can add in WPML → Languages → Language switcher options → Additional CSS.
