In this tutorial I demonstrate a hidden CSS3 feature of webkit that allows us to override the default styling of validation bubbles. You would think adjusting the CSS of validation bubbles would be straight forward, and that you could jump into Chrome Developer Tools and mess around with the way they look.
Unfortunately not. :(
These CSS3 features are not so openly documented and as easy to modify as we would like. With a little "under the hood monkey wrenching", however, these validation bubbles are completely customizable.
As long as you have some basic CSS styling chops, and know which "hidden selectors" do the all magic, you can make theses things look exactly as you want them to.
