Custom Scrollbar Styler

Style a custom scrollbar with CSS and copy the code.

A scrollbar that matches your design

The default scrollbar can look out of place in a carefully designed interface, and CSS lets you restyle it — its width, colours and thumb. This lets you design a custom scrollbar and copies the code, so a scroll area can match the look of the rest of your design.

Style the scrollbar and copy the CSS.

Style, but keep it usable

A styled scrollbar can add polish, especially on a scrollable panel within a design, but there are real usability considerations to respect. The scrollbar is a functional control people rely on, so it must stay obviously a scrollbar and easy to grab — a scrollbar styled so thin or faint that users cannot find or use it trades usability for looks, which is a poor bargain. Support also varies between browsers, so a custom scrollbar should degrade gracefully to the default rather than break. The safest approach is a light touch: adjust the colours and width to fit your design while keeping the scrollbar clearly visible and comfortably grabbable, so it looks better without working worse.
