Better custom scrollbars for Linux

Linux
#1

Firefox 64 does support customizing the scrollbars and you can e.g. see them being used in the dev tools of Firefox itself:

However, as you see, on Linux they are mostly just rectangles on top of each other, which is not really a great design/user experience. The MDN docs example also shows this:

This is not really visually appealing. It would be great to have a little better support. In GNOME you e.g. have native styles for dark and light scrollbars, these could be used if only dark or light is specified by the developer.

I built this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dark-scroll-for-tweetdeck/

Maybe you are interested

Yeah, good idea, but I use Mastodon and they’ve already have a dark custom-styled scrollbar. Also, it just creates the problem on Linux, but yeah… it is a nice idea anyway. (Think, however, Tweetdeck may also fix that, soon.)
