One way to add a little pizzaz to your web pages is to change the scroll bar color. This can be done by embedding some simple style sheet code into the HTML <head> section.

Instructions

    • 1

      Open the HTML file in a plain text editor, such as Windows' Notepad program.

      Copy and paste the following code into the <head> section of your HTML:
      <style>
      BODY {
      SCROLLBAR-FACE-COLOR: #COLOR;
      SCROLLBAR-HIGHLIGHT-COLOR: #COLOR;
      SCROLLBAR-SHADOW-COLOR: #COLOR;
