Examples

This example uses -ms-scrollbar-highlight-color, -ms-scrollbar-face-color, and -ms-scrollbar-arrow-color to create two <div> objects with different scroll bar color schemes.

div {
  width: 150px;
  height: 150px;
  border-style: solid;
  border-width: thin;
  overflow-y: scroll;
  font-family: sans-serif;
  float: left;
  margin-right: 10px;
}

.blueScroll {
  -ms-scrollbar-highlight-color: aqua;
  -ms-scrollbar-face-color: blue;
  -ms-scrollbar-arrow-color: blue;
  border-color: blue;
}

.redScroll {
  -ms-scrollbar-highlight-color: bisque;
  -ms-scrollbar-face-color: red;
  -ms-scrollbar-arrow-color: red;
  border-color: red;
}

<body>
  <div class="blueScroll">
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat.
  </div>

Remarks

Support in Windows Internet Explorer 8+. The -ms-scrollbar-highlight-color attribute is an extension to CSS, and can be used as a synonym for scrollbar-highlight-color in IE8 Standards Mode.

The scroll box is the rectangular box within a scroll bar that can be moved either up and down or left and right on a track to change the position of the content on the screen. The scroll arrows, located at each end of a scroll bar, are the square buttons containing the arrows that move the content on the screen in small increments — either up and down or left and right.

This property applies to elements that display a scroll bar. CSS enables scrolling on all objects through the overflow property.
