scrollbars aren't dark when Edge is in dark mode (Windows)
Deleted Oh Fawkes btw I just noticed an issue with the new scrollbars in Canary and Dev for Edge's internal pages such as Settings: they're not respecting a setting in Windows 10 called "Automatically hide scroll bars in Windows". Try it out yourself. Those new scrollbars really should respect this setting... I don't like those skinny scrollbars and I know I'm not alone (that's why that setting exists in Windows) . Edit: this might even be an accessibility issue, people should be able to have traditional "full" scrollbars in Edge's internal pages. I hope this can be fixed, I don't want to see Edge become a modern 'toy' mobile style app
Bdsrev Interesting... thanks for letting us know! We're discussing this with the product team.

Deleted Any information on when this will come to the final version? As of now, the scroll bars are still bright and it's frustrating...
- it only works in Chrome Canary at the moment. You have to enable the "Web Platform Controls Dark Mode" flag, and barely any website actually works with it. Here are the only websites I know of that work with it https://nshipster.com/
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1603588Bdsrev It shouldn't have anything to do with the website. If the website itself has a dark colour scheme or not shouldn't matter, the scroll bars should theme with the rest of the browser (like adress and tab bar). I also use Dark Reader which makes all websites go dark together with Windows (for which I use Auto Dark Mode to automate it depending on current sunset/sunrise times). Dark Reader also supports theming of site specific scroll bars that override the standard Edge scroll bars. Hardly any website has their own scroll bars though and the standard Edge scroll bars can't be themed, which is why this should be added to Edge/Chrome.
You also appear to have linked an irrelevant bug report.
