Setting document scrollbar colors
Internet Explorer 5.5 and later versions support the ability to specify the colors used in document scrollbars and text boxes in forms. You can set these colors in the Scrollbar Colors dialog box. A total of eight different colors (one base color and seven colors for various parts of the scrollbar) can be specified, although you don’t have to specify all of them.

To set a document’s scrollbar colors
- On the Document menu, go to Decorate, and then click Scrollbar Colors.
- For each color you want to specify, click the corresponding color box and select a color.
The Preview box displays a preview of your selected colors. The Component box highlights the scrollbar part whose color you are modifying.
Scrollbar colors are only supported by Internet Explorer 5.5 or later. Other browsers will ignore the specified colors.
If you specify at least one scrollbar color, the new-style scrollbars used by Internet Explorer on Windows XP computers will revert to the pre-Windows XP style.
