Hi folks,

I'm wondering if it is possible to change the highlight color of the search fonction using CSS. I can't figure witch class i should play with.  
Any one have an idea about that ?

You should be able to use the browser developer tool to inspect the dropdown element and corresponding css.

I have a distant memory this was raised and fixed some time back. What version are you on?

Maybe not - doesn't look like the op bothered to raise an issue.

There is a workaround in this thread: [Dropdown search string color theme](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/dropdown-search-string-color-theme/94911)
