Scrollbars get quite a bit of use in the site i'm working on and how they look on some OS's really doesn't fit with the design - especially if someone's running xp!

looking for a lightweight css / jquery method of custom styling my scrollbars?

+4  A: 

jScrollPane will do this for you.

Having said that, you might want to reconsider actually doing this at all - changing a core part of the UI away from something the user is used to could be a usability issue. There's a very real possibility that some users browsing your site may not recognise your custom scrollbars and will wrongly guess that a page can't be scrolled, causing them to miss out on seeing the whole page.

thanks tobias, this is the kind of answer I'm after!Ideally i'd like to replicate the windows7 ui, i totally see your point about making sure it's seen as a scrollbar to the user, without them having to think about it
