Subtle Scrollbars

Semi-thin scrollbars, styled to blend background with page contents

What is Subtle Scrollbars?

Subtle Scrollbars is a Chrome Extension that replaces the standard scrollbars with sleek, semi-thin 6px-wide ones that have no arrows and possess a unique ability to seamlessly blend with the background of the webpage. Although UI elements are left unaffected, many other elements such as iframes and scrolling divs are embraced by this extension, providing a uniform appearance. Extremely lightweight, it operates on a few lines of CSS and provides an equivalent functionality to the unsupported Custom.css userstyles.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Replaces the stock scrollbars with 6px-wide versions that have rounded ends, no arrows, and a background that attempts to blend with the page. The bars are a medium grey, and nearly black on hover.

Scrollbars for UI elements like drop-downs are not affected, but iframes and scrolling divs usually are - and with backgrounds that truly blend with the page.

This extension is extremely lightweight - just a vew lines of CSS, and roughly equivalent to restoring support for Custom.css userstyles without any interface to edit the new CSS file. No more expertise is needed to tweak this extension than to edit the Custom.css file Chrome no longer supports.
