    Change scrollbar color or increase contrast.


    How do I make the contrast between the scroll box and the page up/page down region greater so I can easily see it? In many cases I have to squint because the contrast is so slight between the shades of grey. I just compared it to Windows 98SE and there is a marked progression of making the shades of grey closer and closer together as I looked at Windows 98SE, XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 10.

    In any case, I want to darken or increase the contrast between the scroll box and the rest of the bar.


    If I'm using the wrong terminology, here's a pic, look at the box for the question and where the arrow points.

    BTW, why does the scroll bar get so slim when I access the Hotmail web interface? That alone is VERY annoying as I can barely make out where I am when scrolling.

  2. Is there a way to increase scroll bar contrast in Windows 10?

    The only way I know of increasing the contrast of scrollbars in Windows 10 is:

    and change the setting from "None" to one of the four listed high-contrast themes. That will, unfortunately, make massive changes to all elements of all windows, not just scrollbars. But it will make your scrollbars higher-contrast.

    Original Title: windows 10 scrollbar color

    Is there a way to change the light color of the scrollbar in Windows 10? I'm using Edge and it is hard for me to see the scroll bar. The fixes I found online are for computer programmers. I'm a basic computer person. Can someone give me an easy step by step
    solution?

    change Windows 10 scrollbar color?

    Is there a way to change the color of the scrollbar in windows 10? I remember being able to change the color of any part of the default windows in in Windows 7 and before.

    But I cant seem to find that option in Windows 10. The problem is that it is nearly impossible to see the scrollbar on very long pages. And as my Trackball does not feature a mousewheel I have to use the scrollbar quite a lot.

    Or is there maybe a feature to color the scrollbar in the Windows 10 theme color, as there seems to be a feature to do that for the window titlebars.
