Hi Rahul,
Would you mind creating a chromestatus entry for this intent? (See "Step
0" at http://dev.chromium.org/blink/launching-features for a link).
Also, out of curiosity (because I don't know much about scrollbars) -
will this proposed change have an impact on a page's layout?
thanks,
Mike

*_Visual Spec_*
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EpJnWAcPCxBQo6zPGR1Tg1NACiIJ-6dk7cYyK1DhBWw/edit
*_Summary_*
This proposal is to modernize the Chromium scrollbars (both overlay
and non-overlay) to fit the Windows 11 Fluent design language. As a
part of this effort, we are proposing to update the visual appearance
along with some changes to how users interact with overlay scrollbars.
*_Motivation_*
As the rest of Windows has been embracing WinUI and native Fluent
controls, certain non-XAML apps like Chromium-based browsers still use
the traditional (Win32 looking) scrollbars. As such, we believe that
the visual appearance of scrollbars could use an update in the
interest of maintaining homogeneity with the rest of Windows.
In a nutshell, we’re proposing that the default scrollbars should act
more like overlay scrollbars, be thinner, have insets and rounded
edges. Users will still have an option to select non overlay
scrollbars via the "Always show scrollbars" OS setting. Non overlay
scrollbars will also be restyled to match Windows theme. For details
on scrollbar styling and state transitions, please see the visual spec
linked above.
Also, please note that since some HTML controls (like <textarea> and
<select>) depend on the ScrollbarThemes(s) that are being refreshed,
they too will also get the new scrollbars.
*_Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows,
Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)?_*
No, this is aimed at Windows for now. However, it can be made
available on Linux too.
*_Ongoing technical constraints_*
None.
*_Tracking bug_*
