Hello,

I searched the web and found several examples of changing the CDT themes but they don't seem to work. I am using CDT under OSX and all the examples say to add a Custom.css file into:

~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/User StyleSheets

But this doesn't seem to work. CDT's styles stay the same. I have restarted Chrome and launched new tabs but that doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

If it works, changes would show up immediately.

When I edit my Custom.css, it works. For example -
#-webkit-web-inspector
{
 -webkit-transform: scale(0.9);
}
Made the Developer Tools feature smaller immediately.

Perhaps you used a lower priority selector and the original style got prioritized.

Thanks PhistucK,

I even tried something just as simple:

#-webkit-web-inspector {
    -webkit-filter: invert(1);
}

and that doesn't work.

I believe I have the latest Chrome browser:

30.0.1599.101

Does the styles only work on Canary?
Also, I had to actually create the "...Default/User StyleSheets/" as it didn't exist in the first place. Everybody pretty much assumes that it already exists.

If you had to create the "Default" folder, then this is not the right path for you.
Go to about:version and under "Profile Path", you will find the right path for you.
Within that path, there should be a User StyleSheets folder.

Using Chrome 30.0.1599.101 on Windows XP, the rule you mentioned works for me and I can see the color inverted Developer Tools feature.

Thanks PhistucK,

Your advise got me thinking about paths. So googled about chrome paths on OSX and ran across this article:


The article mentions that the path is hidden by default. Well this confused me because I could open Finder (aka file explorer under windows) and I could see ~/Library/... path. But the article showed using Cmd-Shift-G. So I tried it even though I was clearly viewing the path in Finder.
Sure enough it took me to my "user" Library. Finder was showing me the "system" Library path.

Once I modified the "correct" Custom.css" things started working.

Thanks again. Your help gave me the clue I needed to see my silly mistake.

Cheers.
