How can I change Highlight Colour + Highlighted Text Colour? (No plugins please)

[holroy]

Slightly lazy today, but does the answer below answer your question (and does it still work)?

Css for ==highlight==

This? /* Highlight EDITOR */ .cm-s-obsidian span.cm-formatting-highlight, .cm-s-obsidian span.cm-highlight { background-color: transparent; color: #DA70D6; } /* Highlight PREVIEW */ .markdown-preview-view mark { background-color: transparent; color: #CD0000; } Angel

Or possibly this slightly newer answer:

Change the color of highlight using double equal sign

Depending on what theme you use, there might be a setting for it in Style Settings. Best to change it there so it doesn’t look funky with light/dark themes. If not, this snippet works: color is the text color (commented out here) and background-color is the highlight color. .cm-s-obsidian span.cm-formatting-highlight, .cm-s-obsidian span.cm-highlight { /*color: purple;*/ background-color: pink; } .markdown-preview-view mark { /*color: purple;*/ background-color: pink; }
