*sigh* My ISP upgraded their home page.

It uses the code that changes scrollbar color.

I need to see if there's some way to turn that off. I frickin hate that. They don't look like scrollbars any more, dammit, the whole point of standards is to standardize.

Jerks. They supply five styles, and not one can resist turning your scrollbar its own color, and not one is basic greys.

On IE, under Internet Options -> Accessability, there's an option to ignore colors. That might get you back your normal scrollbars, I'm not sure, I've never tried it.

Although, if it'll do that, it's probably ignore all other colors, and I don't know if you want that.

Thanks! I don't want it to do that (ignore other colors), but I think I'll try that setting just to see if it does.

I asked, during their trial period, for a version that just didn't do the scrollbars. They let the user dynamically change their styles, is it so hard to make one that doesn't do that? Mmmf. ;)

Not only does it have popup/under blocking options and tabbed browsing, scrollbar color codes don't work on it.

*quirks* Thanks. I went and tried it after it was raved about a while back. It was uninstalled before the day was out...just a matter of taste, but I hated that user interface/look/feel a lot worse than I hate stupid-colored-scrollbars.

OK, I'm puzzled. I didn't see that color change on the scrollbars, but assumed it was because I use Opera. So I fired up IE 5.0 and I still see gray scrollbars. On all five styles. You are talking about the web browser's overall scrollbars, right?

Yep. I think it's IE6+ - and I'm using 6. It might be 5.5+.

Hmm. OK. I am not willing to update my version of IE just to test this. As a matter of fact, I will probably remove the current version from my system, since I don't trust it.

Could I interest you in Opera? :-)

No, actually; I've found I quite like IE, lately. I just wish I could hack the scrollbars. ;)

It's 5.5 and up according to the post in [livejournal.com profile] howto.
