I see that this conversation was continued over here. You know, I've never actually tried to change the color of the scroll bars before. I really like this idea. Of course, I'm crazy and I'd probably make it pink or some other wild color - so maybe it's a good thing I haven't been able to do this!
I would really like to see this as an option. I know I'll be adding a feature request for this. If you haven't already, I'd encourage you to submit a feature request as well.
In the meantime, if someone finds a way to workaround this and add some color to the bar (maybe through some object tweeking), I'd love to hear about it.
The best I've ever come up with is to add a rectangle around the bar to outline it with a theme color. But, no, I've never found a way to actually change the color of the scroll bar itself.
changing the scrollbar colour would be a great feature, even if it was linked to the player menu scroll bar color. I find the grey scrollbar does'nt really stand out on a light colored background.

to the user
thanks in advance

Hi, Max -- Thanks so much for your reply! Unfortunately, changing the Scroll Panel scroll bar color is not possible, but in case you're looking to change the scroll bar within the player, you'll see this job aid will indicate which items will update that color.
thanks for stimulating me to work this out
- made scroll panel border color using theme of the sl
- inserted a text box to scroll
- inserted a narrow shape box inside the scroll panel the same height as
the text box
not exactly what i wanted, but does the trick as the scroll bar is more
salient

Hi, Max -- Your reply is appreciated and thanks for outlining the steps you took! I wanted to mention, if you intended to attach an image, unfortunately when you reply via email, your attachments do not come through here in the thread.
yes
i now see these options,
but they do not seem to address the need to make the scroll bar more salient
perhaps to make it wider or with a stroke or a different color

Not as rar as I am aware, I am only replying in the hope someone knows how
Lol
Was this ever resolved? Do we know if this is possible or not?

HI Anthony,
Geert De Rycke created a nice Demo: Horizontal scrollbars (Panel) are possible
Thanks Becky for popping in to help Anthony out here.

Hi Byron! We take any and all feature requests here
Thanks, I'm adding it as a request now
Oh and off course you can circumvent the issue by using a webobject.
http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/stylesheets/scrollbars.html
so three years ago a feature request was put in...
Guess we are still waiting on that one.
Hi, Lizzie -- Thanks so much for reaching out here! We certainly value all input and ideas for features that customers would like to see, and this older blog post may shed a little bit more light on our Feature Request Process as a whole. Hope that helps, and as always, we appreciate your patience and understanding! :)

Hi - Five years later, is there a way to increase the sizing or the color of the "scrolling panel"?
Thanks!
Hi Jessie,
You can check out all of the options you have to format your scrolling panel in our documentation here.
yes
i now see these options,
but they do not seem to address the need to make the scroll bar more salient
perhaps to make it wider or with a stroke or a different color
