Scrollbar Breakdown

[Chantreya [Chani]]

I know you've all seen tutorials on how to color your scrollbars, but it's a little hard when you don't know the anatomy of one, isn't it? I had to figure it out myself. xD But, I suppose I'll make it a tad easier for you. Here it is:



There it is! Scrollbar in a nutshell. Now, for the code, click here to view Matt's basic codes for your Proboards. This only works for Opera and Internet Explorer... but it won't mess anything up in the other browsers if you use it (as far as I know).

This isn't really a tutorial, but more of a reference for Matt's code. Anyway, hope it helps. ^^

I used to use Scroll bars when I used IE I had a pain of a time wish I had this way back then woulda been loads easier.

[Chantreya [Chani]]

LOL Yes, it would have been for me as well. I figured I'd make it easier for the newer web designers, or even the experts, than it was for us. xD

To true. Im sure many people will read and learn from it ^^

I made a scrollbar chart awhile back too, hehe ;D. Although I don't style the scrollbars anymore. I use Firefox, but mainly it's because I prefer to use standards compliant code. Many web designers would argue that the scrollbar is actually part of the browser and not the webpage, and should be left alone. Personally, I think it's more part of the webpage.

Anyway, it's useful to have a scrollbar chart handy, as it can get pretty confusing remembering what colour goes where.

[Chantreya [Chani]]

OH! Alright, Matt. Sorry; I didn't know that you had already made one. xD

Yeah, I don't color scrollbars much anymore, either, and I use IE. I just don't see the point in wasting the time if not many people see it. More and more people are using Firefox everyday, so yeah. xD

You did Matty? I never saw it before strange..

So a refresher is always good ^^

I don't think It was ever posted here, only at my old blog, that I stopped using shortly afterwards, so it's not surprising you missed it ;D

[Nya]

Hahaha yeah that would be a good reason.


Well then we got this here thanks to Miss Chanti to help others who wish to use Scroll Bar Codes.

Believe it or not, I still have problems coloring scrollbars but I don't use it anymore. It's useless to color it because some browsers don't support it. This should come in handy for new PB users eventually
