How to change Opera’s source search highlighting color

highlightingoperasearchsource code

Opera offers brilliant incremental search while searching ona website but when it comes to source searching ( Right button click -> Source -> Search ) it is not so beautiful.

By default : when you search for a word in Source it highlights with nearly transparent grey color which is really hard to distinguish from normal text.

Does anyone know how to change this – the highlight color ?

P.S. I am using 11.61, build 1250

  1. Unpack and open file "skin.ini" from your current skin pack: opera:config#UserPrefs|ButtonSet Standard path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\skin\standard_skin.zip\skin.ini
  2. Close Opera.
  3. In [Generic] add Selected Text bgcolor nofocus = #your hex color for example #F0FF00

Example of skin.ini

Save and pack it back to standard_skin.zip and launch Opera
