Changing the color of the scroll bar

Feb 07, 2014

can anyone tell me how to change the color of the scroll bar in a scrolling panel without changing colors anywhere else?

This would be a great feature, especially for software simulation training. Currently I am using scrolling panels that house images that also have scrolling panels for our application training. It would be hugely helpful to the learner to reference the scrolling panel scroll bar with a different color. Any other suggestions on how I can call out the scroll bar for the learner?

Please add my request to this one - at the very least make it so that the width of the scroll bar can be changed.  Only workarounds I've tried without having an arrow spoiling the slide are to adjust the spacing so that a line of text is chopped in half, making it more obvious that there is more below, and having to put instructions in text above...

Colour would fix it all!

I actually have foud a workaround for this, and its very simple. Just use the slider, ad a couple of boxes as layers, ad a main text and give it 3 stances. In each one, just move the text up and made the slider go to each of them. I attach the example in SL3.

The slider lets you, in the format options of the main manu in SL, adjust it color, shape, etc. Both for the thumb and the scroll section.
