I want to edit the style of the scrollbar in my site so it would fit the overall theme. There doesn't seem to have info in google. I mean there are but they also change the browser's scrollbar and only work with IE. How would I go about this?

A:
If I remember correctly, styling of a scroll bar is not part of the HTML or CSS standard (last time I checked), although Internet Explorer does support it through their own extension (barstardisation?) of the standards.
My opinion - don't bother with styling of the scroll-bars. It is so 1994. We have moved on since then. You will find that 99 - 100% of most major/popular websites simply don't do it. It is generally accepted that styling of scroll-bars is a horrible thing to do.
I prefer my scroll-bars unstyled. The operating system and browser does a good enough job for 99% of the users out there.
Leave it alone.
