FYI: Do It With Divi Assistant!
Why work so hard? You can do this easily with a setting in our Divi Assistant plugin!
It’s not going to get much easier than this. To change the default cursor highlight color, first you simply need to add some custom CSS to your website.
Where To Paste The CSS Code
1. Divi Assistant
If you are using our Divi Assistant plugin, simply paste the code in the CSS tab in the custom code window in the Divi Visual Builder.
2. Child Theme
If you are using a child theme, paste this code into the style.css file. If you don't have a child theme, you can generate a child theme directly on your site or download our free child theme.
3. Divi Theme Options Integration
Otherwise, paste this code in your Divi>Theme Options>Custom CSS code box.
If you need help understanding where to paste the code, please check out our complete guide about where to add custom code In Divi.

}
::selection {

}Now all you have to do is change the color of the text and the background color to whatever you want! On our site, we made the background color the main green on our site, and the text color the light green in our backgrounds. So feel free to experiment with this, and have fun!
