This brings up a good point: instead of using a property name such as "scrollbar-color:", perhaps we should use something like "scrollwidget-color:", "scroller-color:" or "scroll-color", since the UI for a given device may not even be a traditional scrollbar, but some other UI (e.g. two arrows, one up, one down that may scroll the page). I can still see one wanting to control the colour of that widget to match the page ... and this is a perfect example of not wanting to control the size and shape of the scroll widget. Zoltan.
