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!!, Dachande Joi Ellis <joi@joi.aravox.com> wrote in message news:8s869v$ene8@bornews.borland.com... > Dachande <dachande_1@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Hi all, > > > Can anyone explain to me how to make custom scroll bars? > > Those defaults do not fit into all applications that well, as I'm sure many > > of you will agree (or you might not but that's not the point..).
