[RESOLVED] Vertical scrollbar color

[buf]

I can't believe 6 weeks have gone by since I threw in the towel and gave up on the subject. I have found what may be an answer to my wishes. Before I get overly excited, tell me what you think of this: http://www.iconico.com/CSSScrollbar/ Possible? And my continued thanks.

If it works on your setup, it's possible.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!! I searched high and low looking for this solution to changing the color of my scrollbar.....and finally, I found your post with the perfect (and easy to follow) instructions.

I copied the code you provided, put in the colors I prefer and saved the code as a .css file to a folder on my desktop and then followed your instructions on Internet Explorer. I saved two separate codes (one with black and one with white track colors) in my desktop folder. All I have to do now when ever I prefer the white or black track color - is click on the "Tools" button on IE.

Thank you very much!

For example:

1. Copy and paste the code (text) below into Notepad:

   html {
   scrollbar-base-color: #FFFFFF;
   scrollbar-face-color: #000033;
   scrollbar-track-color: #3333FF;
   scrollbar-arrow-color: #FFFFFF;
   scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFFFFF;
   scrollbar-3dlight-color: #CCCCCC;
   scrollbar-shadow-color: #000000;
   scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #000000;
   }

2. then save it as a text file with the name "c:\my.css" (sans the quotes) and close Notepad.
   
   
3. In Internet Explorer, click Tools > Internet Options > General tab > Accessibility button.
   
   
4. click (check) the box next to "Format documents using my style sheet", then
   
   
5. in the empty "Style sheet:" box, type in:
   c:\my.css
   
   
6. click OK, click OK again, then close and re-open Internet Explorer. You should now see ugly darkblue scrollbar(s).

To change the colors of your scrollbar(s) in your "c:\my.css" file to whatever you like, here is a page showing the name of each element of a scrollbar:

and a page with hex codes for hundreds of different colors:
