Customising the results window using the Windows Grep stylesheet

Text in the results window is displayed as HTML. Elements of the page are styled using CSS classes, the appearance of which can be modified by editing the style.css file in the Windows Grep installation directory (usually c:\program files\windows grep).

The stylesheet is well commented and use of each class is documented in the comments. If you need help on stylesheets, see one of the excellent stylesheet tutorials on the Internet.

This is the contents of the default stylesheet:
