alia,

scrollbar only pertains to the scrollbar of the browser itself, frames, and depending on the browser, scrollbars for <textarea>s.

What color are you trying to change? If you're trying to change the background color of the dropdown or listbox, you can use a stylesheet class, or even the style properties.

using your example above:

select
{
bgcolor: #FF0000;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 1.2em;
font-weight: bold;
}

This should give you a dropdown or listbox with a red background and large, bold Arial type for the options.

Oh, and unless things have changed...the scrollbar color changes you show are only compatible on IE 5.5+ and no other browsers.

alia,

You will not be able to change just the arrow used to indicate the additional options of the dropdownlist, and as explained earlier, any of the color changes you described will only pertain to people viewing your site with Internet Explorer.
