I've been using this extension for a while now, and it has worked most of the time just fine. It's been a PITA to set it up to work with images (kept mistaking the horizontal and vertical bar images for each other), but once I managed, it worked fine... ... up until today, when the original scrollbars were reset for no apparent reason - and I no longer seem to be able to set images. The option is still there, but whenever I select an imge, it doesn't register. And the images are suitable for this - the extention used them fine for years. I hope this can be fixed (or will fix itself somehow) because this is the only Chrome extension I know of that allows me to use images for scrollbars. (PC, Win 10 Home, Chrome 126.0.6478.127)
