WesleyBranton has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-scrollbars] `scrollbar-width` should support custom measurements == SPEC: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-scrollbars-1/#scrollbar-width The current spec only allows `auto`, `thin` and `none` for the `scrollbar-width` CSS property. The property should also support custom measurements in regular size units (px, pt, em, vw, ...). Since the `auto` width is decided by the operating system and some operating systems do not provide a way for the user to adjust the appearance of the scrollbars (or at least have that ability hidden in some more tech-savvy area). The consequence of this is that if your OS has very thin scrollbars, there's no way to increase the width of the bars using CSS. This could be detrimental to users with certain accessibility issues. My add-on [Custom Scrollbars](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-scrollbars/) regularly receives email complaints about this ability not being available. The spec that Chromium-based browsers are using supports custom measurement units.
