  1. Windows 10:: how to change color of scrollbars?


    HiThe scrollbars [track = background light grey, thumb = moving part grey] e.g. in Windows Explorer or open documents web browsers are not in the foreground are difficult to recognize for many users. There are numerous tips on the net on how to adjust the color of the scrollbars. Most of them suggest a change in the registry, which apparently no longer works under Windows 10. Are there other methods that even a layman can use? Other themes or changing the graphic settings are not an option.Thanis and regardsWalt Gallus

    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.

    Windows 10 scrollbar color

    How do you change the color of the scrollbar from its normal grey, that is kind of hard to see, to a brighter color, like the old windows blue or even something in the red family? I have tried changing the color in the registry at Current User\Control
    Panel\Desktop\colors\scrollbar but nothing seemed to change after a restart.
