The selection property is a really cool thing. I find it very overlooked in the design world. So the ::selection property basically changes all the attributes when you highlight an element.

Usually it is an ugly blue and white color but you can change it too anything like your main website color with white or black!

I would highly suggest using it on your next site! You can check it out here.

2. Scroll Bar Customization
