Question

I want to get a scrollbar with a thumb larger than the track. I can change the color, the opacity, everything, but I don\'t know how to change the size of the thumbs and the

Answer 1

You can setup your size using width in ::-webkit-scrollbar.

I don't think it is possible to set separately the thumb and track size.

.test {
    overflow: auto;
    background gray ;
    max-height: 500px;
    width: 400px;
}

.test::-webkit-scrollbar{
    width: 20px;
}

.test::-webkit-scrollbar-track{
    background: rgb(41,41,41);
}
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb{
    width: 15px;
    background: rgb(111,111,111);
}

Answer 2

To make the thumb smaller than the track/scrollbar, simply add a border to the thumb having the same color as the track.

http://jsfiddle.net/Swiftaxe/75pmwmfw/

.wrapper {
    overflow: auto;
    background: white;
    max-height: 90px;
    width: 400px;
    padding: 20px 30px;
}

.wrapper::-webkit-scrollbar{
  width: 18px;
  border-radius: 20px;
}

.wrapper::-webkit-scrollbar-track{
  background: #CCEEF4;
  border-radius: 20px;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb{
  width: 24px;
  background: #49AEC0;
  border: 5px solid #CCEEF4;
  border-radius: 15px;
}

<div class="wrapper">
    <h1>Scrolling is a Virtue</h1>
    <p>Well, it's not the first time. About it! There; keep thy finger on it. This is a cogent vice thou hast here, carpenter; let me feel its grip once. So, so; it does pinch some. Oh, sir, it will break bones—beware, beware! No fear; I like a good grip; I like to feel something in this slippery world that can hold, man.</p>
</div>

If the track needs to be transparent one can use background-clip.

Answer 3

::-webkit-scrollbar {
    width: 16px;
    height: 100%;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:vertical {
    height: 100px;
}

Answer 4

This is a really old post, but I have a working solution that does 'EXACTLY' what was asked for. Also, this will come in handy for anybody else needing this solution.

Fiddle

/* SCROLLBAR */
/* Let's get this party started */
::-webkit-scrollbar {
    width: 10px;
}

/* Track */
::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
    background: rgb(0,0,0);
    border: 4px solid transparent;
    background-clip: content-box;   /* THIS IS IMPORTANT */
}

/* Handle */
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
    background: rgb(25,25,25);
    border: 1px solid rgb(0,0,0);
}

It is very important to set background-clip: content-box for this to work. You will be left with a track that is thinner than the scroll-bar-thumb. Cheers!!

Answer 5

Another way to do it is assigning border on either side of the track

  border-left: 3px solid white;
  border-right: 3px solid white;

CSS

.cute_scroll::-webkit-scrollbar
{
    width: 10px;
    background-color: #f8bbd0  ;

}

.cute_scroll::-webkit-scrollbar-track
{
    -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 6px #f06292 ;
    border-radius: 10px;
    background-color: #f8bbd0  ;

    // Add Border on Track
    border-left: 3px solid white;
    border-right: 3px solid white;

}

.cute_scroll::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb
{
    border-radius: 20px;
    -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 px #ad1457 ;
    background-color: #e91e63   ;

}

Background is 1px point.
