[Pro] Different scroll bars?

If I mark a text box to scroll, I get the standard, chubby blue scroll bar. Looks kind of clunky for a text box. Are there alternatives that I’m overlooking? Thanks.

Don’t forget the scrollbar will look different on a PC. These parts
are drawn from the operating system’s toolbox, so it varies depending
on the platform. In other words, you can’t actually control how they
appear as such.

The only way I can think of to ensure you control the scrollbar
appearance is to use Flash, or possibly JavaScript somehow. But then
you’d be looking at a completely different method of building a page.

Hope that helps.

Hi LauraB,

There is a lengthy discussion in the following thread, worth reading through.

This is all quite helpful, but now I have a few follow-up questions. Does this technique work only in Freeway 5? (I’m currently on Freeway 4, Pro version.)

Also, does anyone know if an actual action will be forthcoming at some point? It looks from one of Walter’s posts that there is a possibility, but perhaps one already exists that I’m not aware of?

Anyway, thanks so very much to Craig and Heather. I really, really hate having to fiddle with code (well, minus the help of an action) but I might brave it if this works in version 4.
