Style Sheets (CSS)

Internet Explorer allows you to change the color of the scrollbar seen to the right of this page. There are many parts you can change, just about anything about it. It is a few variables in a CSS command. We have changed the bar to the left to show you an example.

<style type="text/css">
  body
  {
    scrollbar-face-color: #3399FF;
    scrollbar-shadow-color: #3366CC;
    scrollbar-highlight-color: #33CCFF;
    scrollbar-3dlight-color: #33CCCC;
    scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #666666;
    scrollbar-track-color: #555555;
    scrollbar-arrow-color: #000000;
  }
</STYLE>

<style type="text/css">
