Custom scrollbar

OSCC · CSS, Visual · May 16, 2021

Customizes the scrollbar style for elements with scrollable overflow.

  • Use ::-webkit-scrollbar to style the scrollbar element.
  • Use ::-webkit-scrollbar-track to style the scrollbar track (the background of the scrollbar).
  • Use ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb to style the scrollbar thumb (the draggable element).
  • Note: Scrollbar styling doesn't appear to be on any standards track. This technique only works on WebKit-based browsers.
