When you run chrome as an application, its like its own custom program... amazing! I would love you to add a broken down version for the bottom scroll bars as I've added your example to a web app we've been working on, and if you resize your chrome window you start getting crazy looking colors on the bottom of the screen. I might do it myself and I'll link it back here if / when it's done. Really great! When you run chrome as an application, its like its own custom program… amazing!

Browser default bars are extremely intrusive, especially when used with overflow:auto for web apps. I often end up resorting to a jQuery plugin. For instance, see this page recently completed: http://www.upenn.edu/curf/fellowships/fellowships-directory - The overflow section helps simplify the page design, by providing a scrollable list, but a default scroll bar would have totally interrupted the page flow. PS. Dion, lovely style for Bespin, there. Will have to get something like that on WebKitBits... I can see how custom scrollbars are a controversial topic, but I think they’re well worth it.

I like having the developer able to do what he feels is best, and then having the user, who knows best how HE feels, to be able to override anything. Cheers, Dion Ted,

Firefox goes out of its way to render buttons the way your OS intends, and they throw all that away? Similarly, I don't personally like reskinned scrollbars.
