selectioncolors's Issues

Add blacklist to ignore websites

Reload Required to apply changes

it would be nice if no realod of the website would be required to apply the changes in the settings. e.g. if i enable text color change and select something its still like before until i reload the website

Firefox support

Send message to all tabs to avoid the need to refresh

Message passing

chrome.tabs.sendMessage

Upgrade to new version of manifest.json

Add support for different input types, like the date picker

input::-webkit-datetime-edit-day-field:focus,

input::-webkit-datetime-edit-year-field:focus {
color: white;
background-color: red;
}
