Hi

Is it possible to change the scrollbar shape in IE? I know it's possible to adjust the colours by using:


scrollbar-face-color
scrollbar-arrow-color
scrollbar-highlight-color
scrollbar-3dlight-color
scrollbar-shadow-color
scrollbar-darkshadow-color
scrollbar-track-color

I am trying to achieve this by CSS only, so need to stay away from Flash and JavaScript. Most of you would probably suggest staying away from messing with the User's settings, but this change will be a *subtle* one, if at all possible.

Ideal look would be a top arrow and bottom arrow with a 1px top to bottom border joining them (no background colours).

As far as I can tell none of the above is possible in Firefox.

You do not want to be editing people's scrollbars. It's as simple as that.

If you really want to go to the dark side, it means making a site (or at least your scrollbar) in java or flash. You site's content will then have to have all it's content in a scrollable container div/iframe... it will all be a huge mess, and hard to code.
