Are colored scrollbars cross browser compatible?

Hi

I've read a few older articles that say colored scrollbar attributes aren't recognised by Netscape or Firefox.

Is there a cross browser compatible way of doing this?

Cheers

No, and it’s good that it isn’t. Changing the built-in user interface is not recommended for accessibility reasons and it’s just amateur.

Hi VIP

After reading that article, I think you may has misunderstood what I want to do. I do not wish to create different shaped or unobvious scroolbars - I'd just like them to be the standard scrolbar, but in colors that suit my website theme - as in the examples of good scrollbars that article gave.

Here's an example - http://www.harmonyhollow.net/cool_web_scrollbars.shtml

I think it's completely obvious to the user that the scrollbar is there, even though it's a different color.

Is there a cross browser way of doing this?

Thanks

As I said: No, there isn’t.

There is a creative workaround but its not perfect:

To change the colors of the scrollbars in Firefox, Netscape, and Flock browsers you have to replace the images they use. This can only be done on one's own computer.
