Windows 10: Edge

@Anak - Sorry, been off for a while, just saw this.

I was able to follow the steps in the link for changing the "link" colors, what they/MS call "Unvistited", but with mixed results. I had no errors or roadblocks changing values, but it seems Edge and IE act a bit different with these settings. I changed the "link" color to a putrid shade of orange/brown so I couldn't miss it. *Smile

Logged off/on to clear the spiderwebs. Brought up your post in Edge....no color change. Without leaving the page, I went to Edge settings and opened it in IE. Yukky orange/brown links!

Before and After:







Could not find any other setting in Edge or elsewhere to change Edge link color, still used Windows (user) value.

 

No problem TC, I was away myself. Yea I see what you mean that is a wild color, thank you for your efforts.
And Callender, thanks for the clarification.

Lets see, the only thing I can think of why this works for the web site author is it's in the UK and MS (microsoft) treats them and the EU differently with how the OS and the browser works there, but so is the OP donnylad and it doesn't work for him so it may still be a case of different OS versions.

I did explore some Edge registry settings but no luck so far on finding color setting keys for links.

Len, If you felt up to it there is an 0800 number you could call or email them to see why their steps work for them but not for you. You could even point to this thread of yours to help try and explain what your trying to do. I'll keep you in mind and if and when I come across anything I'll post back.

 

Thanks for what you are doing chaps, but now you are going above my head a bit and I am not as clever as you.
All I wanted to do is change the colour of the links to a different one so that they stand out a bit better in Edge. So now I will keep looking and if you find a way that I can understand I will be very grateful.
Thanks very much.
Len

 

You could try Color Filters:
Settings/Ease of Access/Color filters, (Ctrl+WinKey+C)

 

Hi Edwin I tried the filters like you said and chose Deuteranopia and that is good enough for me.
Thanks very much now I can get on with brousing.

That's great to hear Len!
I had a busy day yesterday but did see Edwin's post in the morning and hoped it would help.

 

Just a follow up. I know that thread topic is solved by using "Ease Of Access" but here's another method.

Get TamperMonkey installed in Edge;

Microsoft Store Tampermonkey (Link opens store app)

Note: Windows Updates and DNS Client Service must be running and enabled to download from Store.

Once TamperMonkey is installed activate the extension (turn it on)

Then install visited-link-custom-color script:

Visited Link Custom Color | Userstyles.org

Pick color for visited links via customize settings.





At the bottom of the page use "Install Style as Userscript" link.




Make sure that script is active:
