CSS customized scroll bar in div

Question

How can I customize a scroll bar via CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) for one div and not the whole page?

Answer 1

I thought it would be helpful to consolidate the latest information on scroll bars, CSS, and browser compatibility.

Scroll Bar CSS Support

Currently, there exists no cross-browser scroll bar CSS styling definitions. The W3C article I mention at the end has the following statement and was recently updated (10 Oct 2014):

Some browsers (IE, Konqueror) support the non-standard properties 'scrollbar-shadow-color', 'scrollbar-track-color' and others. These properties are illegal: they are neither defined in any CSS specification nor are they marked as proprietary (by prefixing them with "-vendor-")

Microsoft

As others have mentioned, Microsoft supports scroll bar styling, but only for IE8 and above.

Example:

.TA {
    scrollbar-3dlight-color:gold;
    scrollbar-arrow-color:blue;
    scrollbar-base-color:;
    scrollbar-darkshadow-color:blue;
    scrollbar-face-color:;
    scrollbar-highlight-color:;
    scrollbar-shadow-color:
}

Chrome & Safari (WebKit)

Similarly, WebKit now has its own version:

• Styling scrollbars: https://www.webkit.org/blog/363/styling-scrollbars/

• Demo of all WebKit scroll bar styling

• From Custom scrollbars in WebKit, relevant CSS:

   /* pseudo elements */
   ::-webkit-scrollbar              {  }
   ::-webkit-scrollbar-button       {  }
   ::-webkit-scrollbar-track        {  }
   ::-webkit-scrollbar-track-piece  {  }
   ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb        {  }
   ::-webkit-scrollbar-corner       {  }
   ::-webkit-resizer                {  }
  
   /* pseudo class selectors */
   :horizontal
   :vertical
   :decrement
   :increment
   :start
   :end 
   :double-button
   :single-button
   :no-button
   :corner-present
   :window-inactive
  

Firefox (Gecko)

As of version 64 Firefox supports scrollbar styling through the properties scrollbar-color (partially, W3C draft) and scrollbar-width (W3C draft). Some good information about the implementation can be found in this answer.

Cross-browser Scroll Bar Styling

JavaScript libraries and plug-ins can provide a cross-browser solution. There are many options.

• 20 jQuery Scrollbar plugin with examples (July 24, 2012)
  • NiceScroll : jQuery Scrolling plugin for desktop,mobile & touch devices
  • jQuery custom content scroller
  • Tiny Scrollbar – A lightweight jQuery plugin
  • etc.
• 30+ JavaScript/Ajax Techniques for Sliders, Scrollers and Scrollbars (May 07, 2008)
• 21 Useful Scrollbar CSS/JavaScript Styling Tutorials (August, 2012)
• 15+ Free and Premium jQuery Scrolling Plugins (August 26, 2012)

The list could go on. Your best bet is to search around, research, and test the available solutions. I am sure you will be able to find something that will fit your needs.

Prevent Illegal Scroll Bar Styling

Just in case you want to prevent scroll bar styling that hasn't been properly prefixed with "-vendor", this article over at W3C provides some basic instructions. Basically, you'll need to add the following CSS to a user style sheet associated with your browser. These definitions will override invalid scroll bar styling on any page you visit.

body, html {
  scrollbar-face-color: ThreeDFace !important;
  scrollbar-shadow-color: ThreeDDarkShadow !important;
  scrollbar-highlight-color: ThreeDHighlight !important;
  scrollbar-3dlight-color: ThreeDLightShadow !important;
  scrollbar-darkshadow-color: ThreeDDarkShadow !important;
  scrollbar-track-color: Scrollbar !important;
  scrollbar-arrow-color: ButtonText !important;
}

Answer 2

Give this a try

Source : https://nicescroll.areaaperta.com/

Simple Implementation

<script type="text/javascript">
 $(document).ready(

  function() { 

    $("html").niceScroll();

  }

);
</script>

It is a jQuery plugin scrollbar, so your scrollbars are controllable and look the same across the various OS's.

CSS Scroll Bars

Example with working demo

    #style-1::-webkit-scrollbar-track
    {
        -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
        border-radius: 10px;
        background-color: #F5F5F5;
    }
    
    #style-1::-webkit-scrollbar
    {
        width: 12px;
        background-color: #F5F5F5;
    }
    
    #style-1::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb
    {
        border-radius: 10px;
        -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 6px rgba(0,0,0,.3);
        background-color: #555;
    }

Answer 4

Custom scroll bars aren't possible with CSS, you'll need some JavaScript magic.

Some browsers support non-spec CSS rules, such as ::-webkit-scrollbar in Webkit but is not ideal since it'll only work in Webkit. IE had something like that too, but I don't think they support it anymore.

Answer 5

Like many people, I was looking for something that was:

• Consistently styled and functional across most modern browsers
• Not some ridiculous 3000-line bloated jQuery extension cr*p

...But alas - nothing!

Well if a job's worth doing... I was able to get something up and running in about 30 mins. Disclaimer: there's quite a few known (and probably a few as yet unknown) problems with it, but it makes me wonder what on Earth the other 2920 lines of JS are there for in many offerings!

      const sSuffix = initCoords.axis == 'x' ? 'Left' : 'Top';
      const dSuffix = initCoords.axis == 'x' ? 'Width' : 'Height';
      const max = elem['scroll' + dSuffix] - elem['client' + dSuffix];
      const room = elem['client' + dSuffix] - initCoords.bar['client' + dSuffix];
      const delta = e['page' + eSuffix] - initCoords.abs;

Answer 6

I tried a lot of plugins, most of them don't support all browsers, I prefer iScroll and nanoScroller works for all these browsers :

• IE11 -> IE6
• IE10 - WP8
• IE9 - WP7
• IE Xbox One
• IE Xbox 360
• Google Chrome
• FireFox
• Opera
• Safari

But iScroll do not work with touch!

demo iScroll : http://lab.cubiq.org/iscroll/examples/simple/

Here's a webkit example which works for Chrome and Safari:

CSS:

::-webkit-scrollbar 
{
    width: 40px;
    background-color:#4F4F4F;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-button:vertical:increment 
{
    height:40px;
    background-image: url(/Images/Scrollbar/decrement.png);
    background-size:39px 30px;
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-button:vertical:decrement 
{
    height:40px;
    background-image: url(/Images/Scrollbar/increment.png);    
    background-size:39px 30px;
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
}

Output:

Answer 10

There is a way by which you can apply custom scrollbars to custom div elements in your HTML documents. Here is a an example which helps. https://codepen.io/adeelibr/pen/dKqZNb But as a gist of it. You can do something like this.

<div class="scrollbar" id="style-1">
  <div class="force-overflow"></div>
</div>

CSS file looks like this.

.scrollbar
{
  margin-left: 30px;
  float: left;
  height: 300px;
  width: 65px;
  background: #F5F5F5;
  overflow-y: scroll;
  margin-bottom: 25px;
}

.force-overflow
{
  min-height: 450px;
}

#style-1::-webkit-scrollbar-track
{
  -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
  border-radius: 10px;
  background-color: #F5F5F5;
}

#style-1::-webkit-scrollbar
{
  width: 12px;
  background-color: #F5F5F5;
}

#style-1::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb
{
  border-radius: 10px;
  -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 6px rgba(0,0,0,.3);
  background-color: #555;
}

Answer 11

This is what Google has used in some of its applications for a long time now. See in the code that, if you apply next classes, they somehow hide the scrollbar in Chrome, but it still works.

The classes are jfk-scrollbar, jfk-scrollbar-borderless, and jfk-scrollbar-dark

.testg{ border:1px solid black;  max-height:150px;  overflow-y: scroll; overflow-x: hidden; width: 250px;}
.content{ height: 700px}

I have skillfully crafted a cross-browser compatible custom scrollbar solution, ensuring a seamless blend of aesthetics and functionality, validated through thorough testing across multiple platforms. HTML Code

<div class="scrollbar">
      Dummy Text Lorem ipsum asperiores, dolor magni culpa voluptas maiores? Quidem fuga illum consequuntur maxime eius sed, assumenda
      necessitatibus provident nostrum cupiditate odit animi laboriosam ipsum libero rerum voluptatem repellat dolores

      aliquid eius, voluptatem repudiandae? Aperiam repellendus tempora ullam sapiente. Officia, quaerat! Voluptatum,
      fugit?
</div>

Plain CSS Code

.scrollbar {
  overflow-y: auto;
  overflow-x: hidden;
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
  padding: 10px;
}
.scrollbar::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover {
  background: #a8a8a8 !important;
}
.scrollbar::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
  -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 6px rgba(83, 83, 83, 0.07);

Webkit browsers (such as Chrome, Safari and Opera) supports the non-standard ::-webkit-scrollbar pseudo element, which allows us to modify the look of the browser's scrollbar.

Note: The ::-webkit-scrollbar is not supported by Firefox or IE and Edge.

Answer 19

For people using sass here is a mixin with basic functionality (thumb,track color and width). I did not test it extensively so feel free to point any errors.

@mixin element-scrollbar($thumb-color, $background-color: mix($thumb-color, white,  50%), $width: 1rem) {
  // For Webkit
  &::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
    background: $thumb-color;
  }

  &::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
    background: $background-color;
  }

  &::-webkit-scrollbar {
    width: $width;
    height: $width;
  }

  // For Internet Explorer
  & {
    scrollbar-face-color: $thumb-color;
    scrollbar-arrow-color: $thumb-color;
    scrollbar-track-color: $background-color;
  }

  // For Firefox future compatibility
  // This is W3C draft and does not work yet. Use html-firefox-scrollbar mixin instead.
  & {
    scrollbar-color: $thumb-color $background-color;
    scrollbar-width: $width;
  }
}

// For Firefox
@mixin html-firefox-scrollbar($thumb-color, $background-color: mix($thumb-color, white,  50%), $firefox-width: this) {
  // This must be used on html/:root element to take effect
  & {
    scrollbar-color: $thumb-color $background-color;
    scrollbar-width: $firefox-width;
  }
}

I think you have to use ::-wekbit-scrollbar for all the scrollbars, and you can use:

<style>
.mydiv {
height:100px;
overflow:auto;
}
     /* width */
    .mydiv::-webkit-scrollbar {
      width: 20px;
    }
    
    /* Track */
    .mydiv::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
      box-shadow: inset 0 0 5px grey; 
      border-radius: 10px;
    }
     
    /* Handle */
    .mydiv::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
      background: red;
      border-radius: 10px;
    }
    
    /* Handle on hover */
    .mydiv::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover {
      background: #b30000; 
    }
</style>
<body>
<div class="mydiv"> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> </div>
</body>

Answer 21

Or use somthing like this:

var MiniScroll=function(a,b){function e(){c.scrollUpdate()}function f(){var a=new Date,b=Math.abs(a-c.animation.frame),d=c.countScrollHeight();c.animation.frame=a,c.render(b),d.height!=c.controls.height&&(e(),c.controls.height=d.height),requestAnimationFrame(f)}function g(){c.scrollUpdate()}function h(a){var b=c.target.scrollTop,d=Math.abs(a.wheelDeltaY/(10-c.speed));c.target.scrollTop=a.wheelDeltaY>0?b-d:b+d,c.scrollUpdate()}function i(a){if(a.target.classList.contains("scroll"))return a.preventDefault(),!1;var b=c.countScrollHeight();c.target.scrollTop=a.offsetY*b.mul-parseInt(b.height)/2,c.scrollUpdate()}b=b||{};var c=this,d={speed:"speed"in b?b.speed:7};this.target=document.querySelector(a),this.animation={frame:new Date,stack:[]},this.identity="scroll"+parseInt(1e5*Math.random()),this.controls={place:null,scroll:null,height:0},this.speed=d.speed,this.target.style.overflow="hidden",this.draw(),requestAnimationFrame(f),this.target.onscroll=g,this.target.addEventListener("wheel",h),this.controls.place.onclick=i};MiniScroll.prototype.scrollUpdate=function(){this.controls.place.style.height=this.target.offsetHeight+"px";var a=this.countScrollHeight();this.controls.scroll.style.height=a.height,this.controls.scroll.style.top=a.top},MiniScroll.prototype.countScrollHeight=function(){for(var a=this.target.childNodes,b=parseInt(this.target.offsetHeight),c=0,d=0;d<a.length;d++)a[d].id!=this.identity&&(c+=parseInt(a[d].offsetHeight)||0);var e=this.target.offsetHeight*parseFloat(1/(parseFloat(c)/this.target.offsetHeight)),f=this.controls.place.offsetHeight*(this.target.scrollTop/c)+"px";return{mul:c/this.target.offsetHeight,height:e>b?b+"px":e+"px",top:f}},MiniScroll.prototype.draw=function(){var a=document.createElement("div"),b=document.createElement("div");a.className="scroll-place",b.className="scroll",a.appendChild(b),a.id=this.identity,this.controls.place=a,this.controls.scroll=b,this.target.insertBefore(a,this.target.querySelector("*")),this.scrollUpdate()},MiniScroll.prototype.render=function(a){for(var b=0;b<this.animation.stack.length;b++){var c=this.animation.stack[b],d=parseInt(c.target);c.element.style[c.prop]=d+c.points}};

And initialize:

<body onload="new MiniScroll(this);"></body>

And customize:

.scroll-place { // ... // }
.scroll { // ... // }
