It sounds like you are talking about customizing the _appearance_ of the 
scrollbar, and not other aspects such as the scroll increments, keyboard 
mappings, mouse handling, etc.

But even that is not quite specific enough to give you a good answer.  
What component are you using?  An AWT ScrollBar or ScrollPane?  A Swing 
JScrollBar or JScrollPane?

It would also help if you were more specific about which aspects of the 
scrollbar you would like to customize.  You will find that there are 
properties that you can set for some aspects, but for others such as 
placing a background image on the scrollbar, you may have to dig a little 
deeper.
