[android-developers] Re: WebKit/WebView and Focus Highlighting
The trick is to use -webkit-tap-highlight-color. If the alpha of the color is 0, the orange ring won't be drawn.

I found scant documentation on Apple's site about -webkit-focus-ring- color, but from what I saw and my own tests on an Android emulator and Safari, it appears that this is not a writable property, but an OS- level constant that is applied to elements with focus. Here's the page I found that calls this a constant and not a property: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/appleapplications/Reference/SafariCSSRef/Articles/StandardCSSProperties.html For example, I tried the following: select style=-webkit-focus-ring-color: green; option1/option /select In Android, the focus ring remained orange. In Safari, it remained blue. Mark, not sure what this means for us. Maybe you can hack the OS and set this value to transparent?

Does that rectangle change with LightTouch enabled? I was kind of hoping that there would be a setting to turn it off or modify it..

In this case, the content is being viewed through a WebView, so I have some measure of control. I see some posts describing how to use ColorStateList, selector, and android:background to affect this sort of change...for a single View.
