Userscript, to replace icons on Stack Exchange pages, spams background images where the icons should be

I'm trying to write a user script to fix the problem that highlighted editor icons have the wrong colour in the new Stack Exchange design (at least on sites which use a different primary colour, such as tex.stackexchange, described in more detail in https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/317581/237989)



Screenshot of SE editor



I tried the following code



// ==UserScript==
// @name StackExchange TEX, adjust css
// @match *://tex.stackexchange.com/*
// @grant GM_addStyle
// @run-at document-start
// ==/UserScript==

GM_addStyle ( `

.wmd-button{
background-image: url("https://svgshare.com/i/9T3.svg") !important;
}

` );


but this results in

          Note:





          1. That script is styling the wrong node. The page source (Link to typical example) is like:



            <li class="wmd-button" id="wmd-code-button" title="Code Sample <pre><code> Ctrl+K">
            <span style="background-position: -80px 0px;"></span>
            </li>


            So, nominally, you would style .wmd-button > span, But...



          2. You want to play nice with other brilliant scripts/extensions (Example), so use .wmd-button[id] > span to reduce side-effects.


          3. Since svgshare.com has proven large downtimes, you may want to convert that image to PNG format and host it on i.stack.imgur.com.



          So your script would become:



          // ==UserScript==
          // @name Stack Exchange TEX, fix edit-icon hover colors
          // @description Adulterates that beautiful, beautiful orange.
          // @match *://tex.stackexchange.com/*
          // @grant GM_addStyle
          // @run-at document-start
          // ==/UserScript==

          GM_addStyle ( `

          .wmd-button[id] > span {
          background-image: url("https://svgshare.com/i/9T3.svg") !important;
          }

          ` );

            And again your are my hero! Thanks a lot! About 2. You are totally right, I would not want to break such a brilliant script by such a great author :) 3. In reality I just have my files locally for my own use, but in order to make a short transportable example, I replaced them by the svgshare link, but thanks for your concerns!

            Actually I have to thank you one more time: thanks for mentioning the kbd script - I just installed it and especially the strike through button is a fantastic idea! I tried a million times to remember the syntax, but I'll always confuse myself if it is strike, or del or whatever.

            Actually I have to thank you one more time: thanks for mentioning the kbd script - I just installed it and especially the strike through button is a fantastic idea! I tried a million times to remember the syntax, but I'll always confuse myself if it is strike, or del or whatever.

          • @samcarter glad you like it -- and that you haven't asked me to change the hover color ;) .

          • Luckily your code is much easier to read than the code from stackexchange, so finding the orange was no problem :)

          And again your are my hero! Thanks a lot! About 2. You are totally right, I would not want to break such a brilliant script by such a great author :) 3. In reality I just have my files locally for my own use, but in order to make a short transportable example, I replaced them by the svgshare link, but thanks for your concerns!
