I have changed background color of google chrome to black and foreground (text) color to white, because this is easy for my eyes. So, when I use ctrl+f to find any word on any page, the highlighted yellow color makes difficult to see the text. How can I change this other than yellow USING CSS (userStyleSheet) ? I have googled a long but couldn't find any solution.

  • As noted in the comments to this related question it seems like it's a no-go. Even if you manipulate the text after a search has been done and somehow edit the DOM, it still remains the same. –  Sep 11 '12 at 17:38

    sure it's a no-go, because that is implemented by the browser and not the website –  Sep 11 '12 at 17:48

I'm going to try to answer what you need (given the additional info you have given in your comment above) rather than what you asked.

The highlighting color when using live search / quick find is managed by the browser directly. I am not sure how it is implemented, maybe by CSS, but it may also be hardcoded outside of a stylesheet.

However, an extension called FreshEyes (source code of FreshEyes is here), is able to change the live search color in Chrome, so maybe you can have a look at how it's doing that?
