Custom scroll-bar?

Hi everyone,

If I wanted to customize my scroll-bar with Css, how would I do that? Is it even possible? I´d like to change the scroll-bar on a website I´m working on (http://insider.harwindesigners.nl/dekruidendokter/2.0/page.html)

Thanks for the help!

I have never tried to customize a scroll bar, but it can be done. take a look at the blog below:

I hope this is what you were looking for.

Yes that article that Jacob linked is awesome. I used it a while ago for a project.

Wanted to add one thing to remember is to include vendor prefixes. Each browser will need to have code associated with it's scrollbar.
