Reviews of highlight color:
Does not work on newest Chrome version
I've been annoyed with Windows' colors for so long, I'm so happy I've finally found a solution for it! This is so cool and flexible; it fits so well with my themes :). My only suggestion (which isn't as important as the amazing function it does) is to improve the UI.
It doesn't actually work in Chrome Version 94.0.4606.81. When I perform a CTRL-F search, the standard orange color is still applied. Only when I hit escape to close the search box do I see the new color. And that color disappears as soon as I click anywhere on screen, which is not what happens when the CTRL-F search box is still open. So this doesn't come close to working as expected.
Really neat, the colors were cool, DEFINITLY replaces the common blue your computer always has. However, whenever I close Google Chrome, the color doesn't save. So when I come back, the highlighting is still blue. Only temporarily does the color change. Please fix this problem, as it was really nice except for the "saving" issue.
I love the extension, however i cannot give more then 3 stars as every time I close the browser i have to reset and save my highlight colors. Most annoying to set it up, and then have to set it up again and again and again.
It works, but disables and resets itself after you relaunch Chrome.
Doesn't seem to work when highlighting in a pdf. (Also highlight is spelled wrong in the menu)
DOES NOT SAVE! I use Raspbian OS many times while programming LINUX, and the Chromium browser highlight is very light grey on white backgrounds. It may be easier for me to make the same "Highlight" AddOn with a save feature just for myself.
Can't get this to save. I'm not an idiot, and not willing to spend more than 4-5 minutes on this thing. Bad design and bad engineering.
I have no idea if I am not good in searching chrome extension/app, or it is just that I am still not used to Chrome yet, but I went thorough more than a few to find highlight colour changer.. It's very annoying that Chrome is refusing to take Window's setting. As it is, I tried using regedit and found it had no effect on Chrome before I found this. Thanks for the extension, Dev!
Horrible, didnt even work. I tried refreshing and closing and opening chrome back up and it is just a waste of time. DO NOT ADD TO CHROME
this helps me a lot with reading big texts! thank you very much!
I love it. :D But it has a pretty big problem: it resets every time my computer is turned off and on. :( And no, it's not just a Mac issue. I have Windows.
This is perfect, thank you! Now Chrome matches my system theme. ^^ Took off one star because it took a bit of fiddling and several restarts of Chrome to make it actually work, but at the end it did! I use Linux btw; perhaps limited compatibility was the issue, fyi.
It was ok to start, but I found out it drops its settings each session. Let me know when this gets fixed, and I'll reinstall...
Doesn't work. Selections don't work and nothing functions as expected or at all.
hard thing
I love it chrome doesn't let you to change Highlight Color by windows default. And this Extension It's so good does what I want.
works well for me
Does not save setting, but developer says it's an old project he'd forgotten-about and will try to fix it. Some pages will not accept color change at all (xda-developers.com WTF??), however.
I would LOVE if I could change the colors! (the Color box closes before a color choice can be made, so I'm stuck with black font and black highlighting) But the black highlighting is okay for my purposes.
There is no way I can find to set a color in the color picker and to also be able to press the "save" button. Where did the save button's popup go? It's impossible. Disappointed!
There are no colors??
Noticed in your coding that you are using cookie to save the color settings. I would suggest making cookie persistent. The fact that the settings don't carry over leads me to believe that it is a session cookie.
Was working fine last night, log on today and my color is gone. Check the comments, see that this is an issue. Okay. Reset it, and it tells me I "May need to refresh my window before the extension can work." K. Do so, no luck. Really bugging me.
Useful plugin. It will be better if it saves the options at end.
does not work, Linux, chrome 53.0.2785.89
Garbage.
works dont know what the people saying it doesn't work are talking about
Opening the color picker closes the extension options window, and the color is never updated. Does not work.
Guys, it will only save when you close chrome on a chromebook, dev dont gaf. But nonetheless useful, its really not that hard to configure,if you want a certain color, c&p the hex code w or w/o the #. Dont give it a 1-3 star rating just because it doesnt save. Also, it might not be compatible with linux.
It works fine, but the setting resets every time Chrome restarts.
I tried every combination of click-this then-that and it didn't save the settings.
it does work i just have to remember to click enabled, but it doesnt save after u close chrome and the re open it
Did not work.
Please make it work.
Doesn't work buddy
Doesn't work.
Best out there at the moment.
Doesn't work. The dialog box closes after you select a color so you can never "Save Changes".
Does not work.
I do not see the "save changes" button, and so it's not working for me. Please fix.
It works (5 stars for that) BUT if you close and reopen Chrome, your changes will be lost (-1 star).
