The scrollbar-width property is used to set the width or thickness of an element’s scrollbar when shown. This property can be used on pages where the user interface requires the element to be displayed more prominently and shrinking the scrollbar width gives more space to the element.
This a currently an experimental property and some of the major browsers may not be supported.
Syntax:
scrollbar-width: auto | thin | none | initial | inherit
Property Values:
- auto: It is used to set the scrollbar width to be automatically set by the browser. It is the default value.
- thin: It is used to set the scrollbar width to a thinner variant of the default scrollbar.
- none: It is used to completely hide the scrollbar, however, the content is still scrollable.
- initial: It is used to set the scrollbar width to its default value.
- inherit: It is used to inherit the scrollbar width from its parent.
