I have looked into this before, and my recollection is that you cannot change the focus indicator style. I have an even more vague recollection that you can use JavaScript to change the style, but that this causes other issues that are probably not acceptable.

From a WCAG conformance perspective, this is exempt from the colour contrast requirements as long as you do not change the default background colour. However, if you change the background colour, then the colour contrast requirements apply.
