Change webview find on page result style using css? - html

Question

In an Electron webview using findInPage, can you use css to change the result colors?
In the above image, the current find result is highlighted in orange while additional results are highlighted with yellow. I'd like to tweak the styling of both of these

Answer 1

body{
background-color:#000;
color:#fff;
}
h2::-moz-selection { /*Firefox*/
color: #000;
background: #FF9800;
}
::-moz-selection { /*Firefox */
color: #000;
background: yellow;
}
h2::selection {
color: #000;
background: #FF9800;
}
::selection {
color: #000;
background: yellow;
}
<h2>Select some text on this page:</h2>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<div>This is some text in a div element.</div>

Answer 2

In Electron you can use stopfindInPage to stop the find and focus/activate a selection (activateSelection - Focus and click the selection node). As it is also possible to insert css, this may allow you to insert css to update the color/ bg=color of the selected text, by using something like the following :
::selection {
background: #ffb7b7; /* WebKit/Blink Browsers */
}
::-moz-selection {
background: #ffb7b7; /* Gecko Browsers */
}
I haven't tried it, it's just a suggestion from looking at the API.

Hope this helps, and that you find a solution
EDIT:
If you are on mac you could use setUserDefault in the system preferences.
In addition, if you use Nathan Buchar's electron settings, you can use the set method to adjust key values (in mac/windows/linux - see his faq)
