As a part of this effort, we are proposing to update the visual appearance along with some changes to how users interact with overlay scrollbars. Motivation As the rest of Windows has been embracing WinUI and native Fluent controls, certain non-XAML apps like Chromium-based browsers still use the traditional (Win32 looking) scrollbars. As such, we believe that the visual appearance of scrollbars could use an update in the interest of maintaining homogeneity with the rest of Windows. In a nutshell, we’re proposing that the default scrollbars should act more like overlay scrollbars, be thinner, have insets and rounded edges. Users will still have an option to select non overlay scrollbars via the "Always show scrollbars" OS setting. Non overlay scrollbars will also be restyled to match Windows theme. For details on scrollbar styling and state transitions, please see the visual spec linked above. Also, please note that since some HTML controls (like <textarea> and <select>) depend on the ScrollbarThemes(s) that are being refreshed, they too will also get the new scrollbars. Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)? No, this is aimed at Windows for now. However, it can be made available on Linux too. Ongoing technical constraints None.
