Did anyone actually read this?And I am okay with not styling the browser's scrollbar,
Learn to speak like a normal person and state your opinion with arguments.Fsck the control you think you have over how my browser looks!
By the way, I am a designer too, just one with more common sense than ego.
Eww. Sorry, it just doesn't look nice. It looks like the pattern doesn't repeat correctly.Also, in Firefox for me, the scrollbars are thin, light gray, and marble-textured, themed currently with KDE4's excellent Oxygen Widget Style which lights them up aqua on mouse-over.

I am not offended, I just can't understand why people are supporting w3c's flawed decisions.I'm sorry if I offended anyone, it's just that the scrollbars argument should have been laid to rest 10 years ago and I get really touchy every time it comes up (which is surprisingly often).
Thanks, but I am already a high-rated web designer/developer in my country.Believe me, you are not the first designer to walk down this road of disappointment and won't be the last. I hope one day you relinquish that illusion of control and become a truly inspired web designer, the kind that helps move the web forward instead of backwards.
That is not correct, I decide how the page will be displayed, what to display. If I don't publish the content, the user won't have anything to see. The browser shows that and helps the user (with config) to change the layout to his preferences to aid him in navigation, but it doesn't help fix a badly designed page.You do not control the scrollbars on my browser. You do not even control the way your webpage displays on my browser, when it really comes down to it.
The fact is that certain designers with a thick understanding of the web see the W3C as no more than an annoyance preventing them from controlling something they ultimately have absolutely no control over. All of this designer angst stems from their (yours too?) false illusion of control.
Like the <b> <i> tags in the future...draw that line in the sand which left things like the blink tag, the marquee tag and colored scrollbars outside, and reasonable standards inside.
