Hi all,

Any answers please

I don't know how it's done in FrontPage, but in CSS you add the following to your body declaration:

Code:

 scrollbar-face-color: #f0e68c;
 scrollbar-highlight-color: #ff8000;
 scrollbar-shadow-color: #ff8000;
 scrollbar-3dlight-color: #ff0000;
 scrollbar-arrow-color: #000000;
 scrollbar-track-color: #ffffff;
 scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #f0e68c;

The color is not pink, but you can experiment using a color-picker.

A few words of warning: This is not standards-compliant and only IE and Opera support colored scrollbars. They do not show in Firefox, Chrome, Safari, any iOS, Android, or other mobile browser. Also, as soon as you declare a DTD on a page, they return to the browser default color.

Good luck,
Kevin

Thanks for your reply Kevin but do you know another way to change scroll car color without code for example changing settings of Internet explorer

Changing settings in a local copy of Internet Explorer won't change the appearance of a web-site for others.

Ok thanks for your reply IanS but do you know how to change color of scrollbar in any other way??

Try reading here which may help you implement Kevins method directly on one page rather than as a CSS.

The page I've linked to has a neat set of colour bars to help with colour picking.
