Anyone know how to change the color of selected text in Chrome/Chromium?

[jon.reeve]

Chrome/Chromium is blazingly fast, and I like it a lot, but every time I select any text it shows up as black letters on a blue background, when it should be white letters on a brown background. I tried changing the theme in Chrome, and changing my system theme, but nothing affects it. Does anyone know how to change this? It's driving me nuts.

Id like to know that too. Its probably the main reason I havent started using chrome as my default browser, its killing me as well!

Have you tried that? I thought the blue was hardcoded in Chrome, or at least chrome ignores any GTK or other colours. Before I start messing with it, can you confirm this changes the text selection colour in chrome(ium) ?

I've been searching for a Maverick highlighter for two days now. But I've found brown highlighters used in 10.04, but not the orange ones.

In case you need the brown one:
