Scrollbars are currently all CSS. I'm worried about the "glow" affect hurting performance, since scrollbars are drawn during panning.

Fair enough. Even if we can make it blue for now that would be great :)  #84acff

Note: scroll bar color of tab scroll bar looks different from the color of the content scroll bar currently.

Hi.. is someone working on this? I would like to give it a try... Can you help me to get started? I have Android development environment setup in my laptop. I can emulate Honeycomb. But I dont have a tablet device. Also I have Mozilla-Central with me. Where can I get the Fennec?

You can follow the instructions at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Android#Build to build for a device, and to build Fennec for desktop you can just add |ac_add_options --enable-application=mobile| to your mozconfig and build as usual. I'm not certain if you can use the tablet UI on non-tablet devices; that's something that mfinkle can answer.

You can set the general.skins.selectedSkin string pref to:
honeycomb/1.0
classic/1.0
gingerbread/1.0

In addition, you can set the tablet layout int pref:
+pref("browser.ui.layout.tablet", -1); // on: 1, off: 0, auto: -1

Mark, is this still a valid bug for a new contributor to be working on? In other words, does this still apply to the Native UI, so that the work done won't be wasted?

Not valid anymore
