Scroll bar control color

[dasadler]

Is there any way to change the color of that little slider control on the on the scroll bar at the side of the window? Min is difficult to see and would like a little more contrast.

Not 'out of the box'; you'd have to use a third-party utility such as WindowBlinds.

Thanks Hans. I was aware of that program yet have not found anyone who successfully done what I need to do without having unintended consequences elsewhere in Windows. Besides it is a bit expensive for what I need.

Without such a utility, the color of the scrollbar slider is linked to that of '3D objects' - changing it would change the color of dialog boxes, buttons etc. throughout all Windows applications except those that provide their own 'skin'.

Have you tried going into Windows advanced settings for the desktop and preferences. If you shade the window borders a bit darker surely it should affect the scroll bar colours and make them a bit more defined.
