Hi there,

I’m not too sure what you mean – can you explain a bit more?

Thanks!

When I Select any word or phrase to copy or for any other purpose, the default of the selected is blue. How can I change this color to whatever color I want?
Also I’d like to see the height of the color the same as that of the letters as I see it needs to be smaller!

Thanks!

Sorry still a little confused.

Are you able to provide a link to the page in question and let us know what you are trying to change?

Thanks!

Ah yes, try this:

::selection {
  background: #ffb7b7; /* WebKit/Blink Browsers */
}
::-moz-selection {
  background: #ffb7b7; /* Gecko Browsers */
}

Thanks for the information,
However let me know where I’ll enter the code and whether I need to remove an old one!

Alright, now I see the height of the selection is bigger than I want!
How can I reduce it to be almost as the height of the letters?

[Tom]

Any chance you can link me to the site? Hard to tell without seeing it.

You could try adding a height to the CSS – it accepts all CSS parameters like anything else: https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/sel_selection.asp

Really I’v tried to change the height of selection using w3school.com .However I was not able to know the required expressions to write and the right place to write in.
Below there’re 2 links of 2

Waiting your reply!

[Tom]

Just looked into this, and you can’t change the height of the selection.

If you remove the custom color we added, does the same issue occur?
