In tweaking my sidebar, I confirmed my dislike of FireFox. (It must be one of those love it or hate it kind of browsers, because I know people who are ardent fans.)

Apparently FireFox is Gecko based, and won't accept some of the code changes other browsers allow. (I'm trying to imagine a fox/gecko, and failing to merge the two animals satisfactorily in my mind.)

But I digress... Even the Gecko/Fox thing accepted most my template changes obligingly, including a cute little search engine just for my own little PrairieFrog Blog. It wasn't until I tried to color coordinate my scrollbar that the gecko put its suction-cupped foot down. I would have thought that geckos, like chameleons, would be particularly gifted in blending colors to match the background, but nooo... the scrollbar can't blend with its surroundings.

Still, it was fun playing with the code. The first method I tried altered the main scrollbar too.  I didn't like that (It looked lovely, but I wasn't wanting to be too renegade), so I played around until I figured out how to change just the one bar. (For curious FireFoxers: It isn't my main scrollbar, but the little one on the TOG Blogroll widget on the column to the right. If you would, whenever you see it, please imagine it in pale blue.)

Amazing the things I spend time doing when I should be asleep.

And FireFox users, please continue enjoying through your preferred browser.  I'm pretty sure that wanting a scroll bar to color coordinate with my template borders on some kind of neurosis, so don't mind me...
