How do I change the selection color on a textinput object?

Hi there I am trying to change the selection color when the text in the textinput object is selected, I am using the code in this tutorial - not sure where I am going wrong though. w3schools.com/howto/howto_css_text_selection.asp

I have input mine as follows -> TextInput: Set CSS style "selection" to "background:#7046B3"

I don't think you can do it with the set CSS as that's just changing one property.

like

font-size

23pt;

And so on...

You're likely going to have to create some custom css code, which will be a tad more complicated but give you more freedom.

A bit like this:

construct.net/en/tutorials/css-your-buttons-and-textboxes-818

you can also create a css file and load it at the start of your project. Then you can use the exact css code from other sources. Although css code only works on form controls, not other construct objects like the text object.

see the sample below for how I load css.
