Cusomize scrollbars - css?

Stefano Palazzo · Aug 16, 2005

Hi

Is there a way to customize the scrollbar(s) of a single DIV with css?
It should be Valid CSS and Valid XHTML Strict as well

scrollbars are part of the browser not the page, hence a no

You can only do this with custom (hence non-valid) CSS attributes in
some browsers, and it's usually a bad idea to change the user interface
anyway.

hmm, this might work:

<style type="text/css">

{
scrollbar-face-color : #C0C0C0 ;
scrollbar-track-color: #C0C0C0 ;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #000000 ;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #000000 ;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #C0C0C0 ;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #C0C0C0 ;
}

</style>

Works in Konqueror and Opera[1] too, thankfully it can be shut off in all
(Opera has a preference, IE/Konq have user style sheets).

Tried with opera 8.01_nl (win-xp), no effect.
Konqueror (Mandriva 2005), no effect.
IE6 (win-xp), effect.

Just tested in both of these. Looks like it only works in Quirks mode. Its
still a horrible effect though.

In your <head>:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type"
content="text/x-extendedstyles">

In your <body>:

<div style="scrollbar-face-color:#C0C0C0;
scrollbar-track-color: #C0C0C0;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #C0C0C0;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #C0C0C0;">foo bar</div>

This is valid XHTML, and (technically) it doesn't use CSS. ;-)

Of course, changing scroll bar colours is a stupid idea to begin with -- you'll
only end up confusing your users.
