Scrollbar, not buttons. ;)

Unless you know something I don't, Y'z Toolbar can't change scrollbars--in fact, I don't think Windows is capable of changing the order of the scrollbar controls to look like OSX.

The general method is to use WindowBlinds -- the free version does not skin scrollbars, though, unless I am mistaken.

The other thing is that I don't believe there exists yet/will ever exist for XP a way to mimick the effect OS X has of having a sort of masked/multi-layered scrollbar. In other words, when you move the scrollbar in OS X, the bar itself moves, but the ripples beneath the bar remain stationary. There is no way that I know of to do this in XP, so the best you can hope for is a kind of cheap-looking imitation. XP also does not, I believe, allow antialiased scrollbars, so if you want curved bars like OS X has, you'll have to accept fake-looking jagged curves, i.e., 1 bit transparency.

So, in conclusion, WindowBlinds, but it still sucks, so I'm holding out for Vista to do skinning justice.

Seeing as you're a new member...I hate to ask this, but you DO know about MsStyles skinning, and WindowBlinds, right?

Either one will work...if you don't know about them, I'm sure someone else from the forum will be able to help, and I'll be back about 20 hours from now ;).

Too bad even with glass they don't anti-ailias anything.
