Browser in fullscreen mode, important. So you have no bright color reference to the right.


Actual results:

It is hard to see were how far you scrolled on the page, because the scrollbar colors are very low in contrast. The moving part is hard to see at a glance.


Expected results:

The moving part of the scrollbar painted in a sligtly darker color.

6 years later the scrollbar has still way to little contrast, even on bright webpages.
This is a big accessibility problem.

Also affects Mac OS 10.14.6 in light mode.

Severity: normal → S3
