Custom scrollbar	visual,advanced

Customizes the scrollbar style for the document and elements with scrollable overflow, on WebKit platforms.

<div class="custom-scrollbar">
  <p>
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit.<br />
    Iure id exercitationem nulla qui repellat laborum vitae, <br />
    molestias tempora velit natus. Quas, assumenda nisi. <br />
    Quisquam enim qui iure, consequatur velit sit?
  </p>
</div>

.custom-scrollbar {
  height: 70px;
  overflow-y: scroll;
}

.custom-scrollbar::-webkit-scrollbar {
  width: 8px;
}

.custom-scrollbar::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
  background: #1E3F20;
  border-radius: 12px;
}

.custom-scrollbar::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
  background: #4A7856;
  border-radius: 12px;
}

Explanation

• ::-webkit-scrollbar targets the whole scrollbar element.
• ::-webkit-scrollbar-track targets only the scrollbar track.
• ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb targets the scrollbar thumb.
• Apply the same selectors and styles without .custom-scrollbar to style the document scrollbar.
• Scrollbar styling doesn't appear to be on any standards track. There are many other pseudo-elements that you can use to style scrollbars. For more info, visit the WebKit Blog.
