About this Add-on

The "NewScrollbars"-extension replaces the default scrollbars of Firefox and Thunderbird with colorized ones (partly) known from "Noia themes". It has nothing to do with the "Noia icon set" and reminds us of MacOS scrollbars.


Features
- seven predefined scrollbar colors + customizeable colors
- two scrollbar widths (13px and 17px)
- two scrollbar backgrounds (light and dark)
- English/German options window
- works with Firefox and Thunderbird
- colorpicker to style custom scrollbars
- textfield to set background color (hexcode) for custom scrollbars
- option to pick a random scrollbar on startup
- option to hide scrollbars
- option to make scrollbars transparent (only if "GlassMyFox"-extension is used) (Firefox only, AeroGlass Windows 7 / Vista only)

This add-on is mainly for people, who want "high contrast" scrollbars for their default Firefox theme. These scrollbars can be more kindly for eyes.

"NewScrollbars" extension also works with themes that don't style scrollbars and may work with themes that style scrollbars (depends on theme).

Note: If a website is already open and scrollbar options are enabled/disabled (in the add-ons manager), every page has to be reloaded to make changes take effect (for any active, opened or loaded website).

Important
The new scrollbars are images that alter their size when Firefox zoom function is used. Go to "View"->"Zoom" and hit the setting to only zoom text to disable scrollbars size change while zooming in/out. This happens with all extensions and themes that style scrollbars. There is no workaround for that, because its bug present for years in Firefox.
