HTML Code for changing scroll colour. Nice way to do it i find.

Hi paste this code in the head section of your page and just add the colours you desire to change the scroll bar.

<style> body{ scrollbar-arrow-color: #fffff;
scrollbar-base-color: #fffff;
scrollbar-dark-shadow-color: #fffff;
scrollbar-track-color: #fffff;
scrollbar-face-color: #fffff;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #ffffff;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #ffffff;
scrollbar-3d-light-color: #ffffff;
</style>

works nice in i.e 5 plus

or use css ;)

or accept the fact that the scroll bar is part of the user's desktop, and your choice of colour to match your site may well clash horribly with their desktop colour scheme

it's one of those things that always makes me assume the designer is doing things simply because they can rather than to any constructive purpose

It is also IE specific... no support in any other browser (well, Netscape and Opera anyway!)

yes ok Eric true. But it adds a bit of flare to some websites. How we have had to suffer with the plain dull grey bars for too long. On a good site it can look effective.

If you are already dropping older browsers and using iframes, then colored scrollbars on the iframe can look very good. It wont clash w/ the user's color scheme b/c the iframe is in the middle of your page, thus clashing only w/ your page's color scheme.

With IE having 90% of the market share, 90% of the time, it will be seen.

I use css to code our scroll bars.
