You can do it easily with CSS:
(From http://www.websitetips.com
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {scrollbar-3dlight-color:g
scrollbar-arrow-color:yell
scrollbar-base-color:tomat
scrollbar-darkshadow-color
scrollbar-face-color:teal;
scrollbar-highlight-color:
scrollbar-shadow-color:mag
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>.<p>.<p>.<p>.<p>.<p>.<p
</body>
</html>
Or try this fun script, (and hover your mouse over the scrollbar to see the color change):
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>scrollbar colors onmouse</title>
</head>
<body onmousemove="move()" link="#00FFFF" vlink="#00FFFF">
<script language="javascript"><!--
function move()
{
chk = document.body.clientWidth + 2;
if(window.event.x > chk) //Ist Mauszeiger über Scrollbar?
{
var sfc = "powderblue"; //scrollbar-face-color
var ssc = "red"; //scrollbar-shadow-color
var shc = "blue"; //scrollbar-highlight-colo
var stc = "yellow"; //scrollbar-track-color
var sac = "green"; //scrollbar-arrow-color
document.body.style.scroll
document.body.style.scroll
document.body.style.scroll
document.body.style.scroll
document.body.style.scroll
}
else //wenn Mauszeiger nicht über Scrollbar
{
var sfc = "orange"; //scrollbar-face-color
var ssc = "red"; //scrollbar-shadow-color
var shc = "white"; //scrollbar-highlight-colo
var stc = "lightblue"; //scrollbar-track-color
var sac = "blue"; //scrollbar-arrow-color
document.body.style.scroll
document.body.style.scroll
document.body.style.scroll
document.body.style.scroll
document.body.style.scroll
}
} // -->
</script>
<h1>Hover your mouse over the scrollbar<br>
and see it change colors</h1>
<p>.<p>.<p>.<p>.<p>.<p>.<p
</body>
</html>
> The CSS work only with IE?
Some of it will also work with recent versions of Opera for Windows *if* the user has allowed it in his preferences. The preference is disabled by default. The styles won't work at all in Mozilla, Safari, Konqeror, any version of Netscape, or IE/Mac. Personally I prefer using a browser that doesn't support this -- the purpose of CSS is to allow web authors to set the presentation of their pages, not to let them monkey around with my user interface. It would appear that W3C agrees with this sentiment, which is why none of the scrollbar-related styles are part of the CSS-2 specification. Nor will you find them in the CSS-2.1 or CSS-3 drafts.
