Make that Bindel put this at the end of the stylesheet:#content {
scrollbar-base-color:#666;
scrollbar-arrow-color:#fff;
scrollbar-3dlight-color:#F69;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#903;
scrollbar-face-color:#C36;
overflow:auto;}He is so young, yet so conservative! :p

Remember, David, that the scrollbar that NN|Mozilla puts in there is not "compliant" in the sense of the Window's interface, although it would be right at home on the Mac.

There are standards and then there are standards. I see no reason not to put in cutting edge bits providing they:
(1) cause no deleterious behaviours and/or
(2) degrade gracefully in non-compliant or non-capable browsers
(3) are a reasonable extension to the interface (there are a few "unreasonable" ones that come to mind <blink>&%#@*&</blink> perhaps.

Personally, I think coloring scrollbars in IE is fair game since, depending on the users desktop color scheme, the default can clash hideously with your design. The NN|Mozilla scrollbar is quite neutral and doesn't matter as much since it, at least, blends with the browser interface "skin" that is used to replace the usual "standard" Window's interface.

C'mon, you young pup, lets duke it out. :bang:

I don't see how being 'non-compliant' by using colored scrollbars hurts the overall quality of your site in any way at all (given that its consistent with the color scheme of the site).

I think you've seen too many bad examples, and need to look at the small picture (did I just say that?!).

Looks Fine The Way It Is
Maybe Some( Other Than White) Background

I originally used a light gray background on the website (mainly because I couldn't find another color that would fit with the Bordeaux red wine colors on the sidebar). In the end, we decided to go with a white background because it made the website look a lot cleaner.

Thanks for the suggestion though.


David Bindel :)

I like your choice....the next color I'd go with'
would be perhaps a very dark blue...

thanks much for all the ideas

My apologies for distracting the focus away from the content of your site which is supposed to be a forum for the beautiful work you do. You are gifted and deserve a proper avenue to express your works. I think what you and David have come up with is faithful to that, and in the end, that is what is really important.

250 North _____ ______ Road is my address
in the nicest city in all of Canada. It's called the city of
Peaches and Beaches, because of the two lakes here, including Okanagan lake, which is the second deepest in the world, home to the famous Ogopogo monster.
We grow all kinds of excellent apples, pears peaches, apricots, cherries, plums, etc. and we got a really cool winery
industry also.

I tried your code at the bottom of my Style Sheet just out of curiosity but it didn't seem to do anything. Obviously I don't have the same setup. What would I be required to do to make some area of my website display the change?

[PsychoticDude85]

Add id="content" to the tag. For example if you wanted an include-like box with a coloured scrollbar you could do something like this:

CSS:
#content {
scrollbar-base-color:#666;
scrollbar-arrow-color:#fff;
scrollbar-3dlight-color:#F69;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#903;
scrollbar-face-color:#C36;
overflow:auto;
width: 300px;
height: 500px;
}
HTML:
<div id="content">
<?php
include('page.html');
?>
</div>
I don't like the coloured scrollbars personally. I think they look tacky, the default is something people are used to and I don't think it looks bad in any contexts I have seen it in.

If you want to make a site look good my advice is to let it expand.

I had a feeling it would be something like that.

I agree with your opinion on scrollbars too. If you want the bottom of your site to display on the page either put it on top or use (shudder!) frames.
