Re: [WSG] Scrollbar Colouring...

[James Ellis]

Hi

Scrollbars are browser widgets, not the viewport - this is why valid 
CSS2 doesn't include the MS only values you mention.

Scrollbars are set by the OS - they should remain consistent with the 
other programs a user is using to ensure a consistent experience. For 
instance setting a scrollbar colour on Safari users may produce some 
strange results as we would be departing from the default Aqua 
interface. Letting the user choose - i.e the skinnability of XP, Mozilla 
and Opera is a better router to follow.

The CSS3 user interface makes some good reading (and who doesn't like 
reading w3c documents??) on stuff coming up - including selectors.

Cheers
James
