IE6 scrollbar

Can anyone tell me why after 2 years of putting up with IE's crummy non-skinnable scrollbar, it's suddenly skinned with the windowblinds skin?? Surprised the heck out of me considering even WB 3.5 says it's not skinned. I'm running XP.

I experienced a similiar problem and learned that IE won't skin the scrollbar unless webblinds is set for the top option, Windows classic / Windowblinds

Scrollbars are usually told what color by the webpage. It's a HTML line you can put in to change almost the look of it that way. I have it done that way on several of my pages on my site

I think that's the reason

That is so true Weaksid. However IE won't skin the scrollbar with the wb skin if that webblinds setting is not set.

Just for those that don't have this style and would like it.

Woops I thought that might happen. The page ate the code

Lets take out and see what happens

style type="text/css"
!--
body { scrollbar-face-color: #000000; scrollbar-shadow-color: #D0CC00; scrollbar-highlight-color: #D0CC00; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #D0CC00; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #D0CC00; scrollbar-track-color: #000000; scrollbar-arrow-color: #D0CC00 }

This doesn't seem to work on Win 2000

IE's scrollbar is only skinned with XP, I believe. Or maybe IE6 in general regarless of OS?
Anyway, IE's scrollbar became skinnable when XP was released, which coicides also with the release of IE6, that's why I'm not which is which. But it's one of those.

And that's true even if you don't have Webblinds.
