Hi @Gargron
May you please implement custom scrollbars in the web client of Mastodon?
They may reflect the selected theme respectively: dark scroll bars for dark theme, light for light etc.

My default OS scrollbars in Forefox doesnt' match Masto-theme, and I believe that's not only my annoying issue.
Thank you so much!

@vanyok People really dislike custom scrollbars, so I am afraid not.

vanyok @vanyok

@Gargron sorry to hear. :( But thanks for instant answer.

infinite love Ⴟ @trwnh

@vanyok @Gargron Also I don't think there's a stamdard way to theme scrollbars in anything but WebKit-based browsers, so not Firefox. You'd have to edit userChrome.css on every single machine.

@trwnh @Gargron I wasn't aware of this. Though it may be true, how have they made it on the aforementioned Riot.im web client? Curious to know...

@Gargron @vanyok It has custom scrollbars though? 🤔

Firefox just doesn't support custom scrollbars, as it's non-standard stuff
vanyok @vanyok

@elomatreb @Gargron well, I compare Mastodon web-client with Riot.im web-client, and custom scrollbars are simply working well on the latter one. So I make a conclusion custom scrollbars are not implemented in Masto-web.

elomatreb @elomatreb@social.elomatreb.eu
@vanyok @Gargron riot.im fakes the scrollbars with Javascript, which is IMO the worst possible thing you can do just to fix a minor visual issue
vanyok @vanyok

@elomatreb @Gargron oops! Fair note!

elomatreb @elomatreb@social.elomatreb.eu
@vanyok @Gargron There is an official web standard in the works for scrollbar themeing, this is something we may also expect in firefox
vanyok @vanyok

@elomatreb @Gargron thanks for enlightening! Looking forward to it. But it should be not on a top priority for developers I suppose.

So I'll continue to suffer^W adopt...
Why I've asked, I've just moved from Chrome back to Firefox, and here I get all these... (facepalm)

@Gargron @vanyok Imagine custom scrollbars with text ads inside >.<

vanyok @vanyok

@groosha @Gargron damt, Evgeny, that's such a cool marketing ads idea! ))))))

Evgeny Petrov @groosha@groosha.cf
