i created one for this site:
http://www.frogtoggle.com/twistedhip
It responds to the scroll wheel, has the hold-down-the-arrow-to-scroll
functionality, a draggable thingy, etc etc.
It's imperfect. It doesn't resize the dragger based on the amount of
content on the page, and it's slow ... but all in all i'm pretty happy with
it.
i don't know much about best practices, but if you have any specific
questions about this scrollbar in particular i'd be happy to help. For the
record, i don't like using components either.
