xmonad and vimperator

It seems that vimperator refuses to color my url white. Instead it remains black. (See screenshot).

Without cursor highlighting:

After highlighting with the cursor:

Any ideas? I have two separate installations of xmonad (two different laptops) and both have the same problem.

IIUC, you can quickly change such color scheme settings with Stylish firefox addon, but you can put it in userChrome.css or something too (it could be the other chrome file)

e.g. I wrote two styles for vimperator.

The command line:

#liberator-commandline 
{
  background: rgb(230,230,230) !important;
  color: rgb(255,44,44) !important;
  font-weight: bold !important;
}

And one for the status line where the URL is:

.hl-StatusLine {
     background-color: rgb(230,230,230) !important;
     color: black !important;
      font-weight: normal !important;
     border-top: thin solid rgb(100,100,100) !important;
}

Is this a common problem then? my google-fu has failed at turning up any results. Thanks for the tip. I will try it out. . .

Nice! It worked perfectly.

For those who want to know:

1. Install the firefox plugin Stylish
2. Go to your addons dialog
3. Click on the stylish plugin, then click preferences
4. Click on the "Write" button
5. Cut and paste the two css styles posted above into the dialog box.
6. Click Save.
7. Restart firefox.
8. Enjoy.

Thanks so much for the prompt reply.

This is quite off-topic, but since it relates to xmonad and vimperator, i thought I would ask here.

If I have more than one firefox window open, how do I close one of them without killing the client? Normally, ctrl-w would do the trick as it closes the tab for windows that have only one tab. However, deleting the buffer in vimperator leaves me with a blank firefox.

Any suggestions?

Quoted from file-menu:

Close Window Ctrl+Shift+W

Of course, it had to be that simple. Sorry about the lame question, and thanks for your time and answer.
