at last - an end to the insanity. In FireFox, this is how you make the text inside of devtools actually visible when the filter field contains text. Whoever thought dark grey on black was a good idea should be fired :-P. Now, there's no mistake when filter text is entered. How many times have you been like "WHY ARE THERE NO RESULTS" only to find that you had text entered but couldn't see it because the UI sucks?
-
go to:
about:config -
set:
toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheetsto true.
-
Then go to
about:supportand click "Profile Folder" → "Open Folder". -
Create a folder named
chrome -
Create a CSS file named
userContent.css -
Inside of that, put this:
@-moz-document url-prefix("chrome://devtools/") { /* search filter text */ .devtools-filterinput { color: #5be82c !important; /* text color */ font-weight: bold !important; /*background-color: #f0d1bb !important;*/ /* field bg */ } } @-moz-document url-prefix("chrome://devtools/") { .devtools-filterinput:not(:placeholder-shown) { border: 1px solid #5be82c !important; } }
-
then restart everything
