Okay,
well the concept is quite simple.  Take the windows default scroll bar for
example, light gray background and dark grey bar and pointers.  Now imagine
an application that has a horrible red background with puffy yellow writing.
Grey scroll bars do not work.

So...
At the very least it would be great to find out how to change the colours of
a normal scrollbar, an then, if possible how to draw your own graphics for
each piece, such as the slider background, the scroll bar, and the up/down
arrows.
aka a custom scroll bar!!

and just so that you know, I would not make an application with that colour
scheme, please just see it as an example!!,
