Scrollbar of navigator window is affected by background-color
or border-width in userContent.css. But it shouldn't.

  border-width: 10px;

hmmm... the scrollbar should be affected only by userChrome.css, right ?

Attachment: screen shot

This is what i saw when i added style ( as mentioned in comment 0)  to
userContent.css -- in win2000 build 2002-08-26 -04trunk

It does effect the scrollbar, as you can see in the screen shot.

Ugh.  So it seems that bug 21890 was never fully fixed.

Comment 4

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

I seem to recall this was fixed before user.css was split in two, which would
explain why userContent.css applies to them now.

Firefox isn't obeying linked CSS stylesheets that alter the appeareance of
scrollbars, e.g.

BODY {
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000;
SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR: #eeffee;
SCROLLBAR-TRACK-COLOR: #223322;
SCROLLBAR-HIGHLIGHT-COLOR: #445544;
SCROLLBAR-3DLIGHT-COLOR: #667766;
SCROLLBAR-BASE-COLOR: #334433;
SCROLLBAR-SHADOW-COLOR: #223322;
SCROLLBAR-DARKSHADOW-COLOR: #112211;
}

Furthermore, Firefox themes do affect them.

The solution for this is that Firefox should be applying linked CSS stylesheets
to scrollbar colors.

It also spits errors on the Javascript console, which looked a bit odd at first, but actually helps developers. It would be good, easier, better for developers, if the source of the error was displayed on the script like:

JS: fubar() is not defined                     Line: 33

CSS: weirdStyle is not defined                 Line: 45

Fixed by checkin for bug 286895.  Note that comment 6 and comment 7 have absolutely nothing to do with this bug...
