I've found that most users don't like scrollbars all that much. Most would rather click and go from page to page, but scrollbars are part of the Web and differing screen sizes make it nil to impossible to never attain a scroll bar.
I ran across only one of these CSS commands while surfing my University's Web site. The Webmaster had placed them on the homepage to get a nice green scroll. That's one of the school's colors. I liked the effect so, without asking him, I grabbed the code. He reads this site, so I'm going to wait until he writes me a letter calling me a thief.
What's overly cool about these commands is that they work on browsers that understand them, IE 5.5 and above at the moment, yet don't throw errors on those that do not. That's a pretty good deal. You can go ahead and plop these on your page and not worry about any cross-browser concerns.
Furthermore cool regarding these commands is that they not only affect the main browser scroll, but any scroll that appears through form elements or iframe flags.
Moreover cool is that you can affect each scrollbar separately.
Lastly cool is setting the main command to the same color as the background of the page so that the scroll basically disappears except for the little button the user moves up and down...
