I thought we got rid of custom scrollbars back in 2000

  No, they're back. See Gmail.

      I believe grandparent is talking about the custom scroll bars which appear in gmail if you are viewing with chrome.

  The difference between these custom scrollbars is that (in modern browsers) they are still scrollbars that work exactly like other scrollbars and only look different.

    Except they don't, try using the arrow keys to navigate in the scrollable DIV. Not working for me (Firefox latest stable). It also scrolls ridiculously slowly using the mouse wheel. So we're actually going backwards in functionality. Fuck the design if it's unusable.

    Doesn't behave like a native widget for me (firefox 8.0).

  No, you see, those were non-standard back when "non-standard" was demonized so we could give Microsoft shit for not doing what we want. We've sense realized that what we want to do isn't standard either, just in a different way from what IE did. Now we do whatever the fuck we want and wait for the standards to play catch-up. Native widgets with reliable behavior and useability be damned; it looks pretty and thats what we've always really wanted.

  Native scroll bars are ugly. I agree that if you're going to override them they should function exactly the same. Modern browsers actually do provide a standard way to re-style them. So if you want to be consistent design-wise on older browsers a javascript solution is necessary.
