Effing Sweet Scroll Bar Styler: A Webflow Chrome Extension

Hey everyone, it's Joe Crew from Vince Wheat. In this tutorial, we're going to explore the Effing Sweet Scroll Bar Styler, a Chrome extension built specifically for the Webflow community. This extension is a result of our team's passion for web design, a fun project, a test for a bigger project we're working on, and most importantly, a useful tool for styling scroll bars without having to write CSS manually.

When you download the extension, you can access it directly from your extension bar in Chrome or visit a Webflow site that has this styler functionality ready to go. With this extension, you can visually create scroll bar styles and then easily copy and paste the generated CSS code into your Webflow site without the need to write complex CSS by hand.

How to Use the Effing Sweet Scroll Bar Styler

Let's dive into how you can use this powerful tool to style scroll bars within Webflow. We'll start by creating a custom scroll bar style for the body of a webpage and then move on to applying a different style to a pop-up on the page.

Styling the Body Scroll Bar

To start, let's create a unique and eye-catching scroll bar style for the body of the webpage. When using the Effing Sweet Scroll Bar Styler, you have the flexibility to apply styles to specific areas of the page. If you intend to style the primary scroll bar on the page, leave the target field blank. However, if you want to target a specific section such as the body, you can input the selector "body" to apply the styles to the body's scroll bar.

Let's get creative and style the scroll bar. We'll modify attributes such as the background, border, thumb style, shadow, and more, all within the visual editor of the extension. For example, we can change the background color, apply different borders, set unique thumb colors, adjust radius, add shadows, and define hover and pressed states for the scroll bar.

Once we're satisfied with the visual representation of our custom scroll bar, we can generate the CSS code with a single click. The extension then provides us with the CSS code corresponding to the visual styles we've set.

After copying the generated CSS, we can easily paste it into the <style> tag within the Head section of our Webflow project. With a simple save and publish action, the custom scroll bar style is applied to the body of the webpage.

Applying Scroll Bar Styles to a Pop-Up

Now, let's move on to applying a different scroll bar style to a pop-up on the page. Similar to styling the body scroll bar, we identify the specific class that corresponds to the pop-up scroll bar. In this case, it's the "pop-up-modal" class. We copy this class and apply the desired styles to create a unique scroll bar appearance for the pop-up.

Once again, we make use of the visual editor within the Chrome extension to define the scroll bar styles for the pop-up, including track color, thumb style, and hover effects. After generating the CSS for the pop-up scroll bar, we proceed to copy the code and paste it into the Webflow project, specifically targeting the pop-up modal class.

Upon saving and publishing the changes, the distinct scroll bar style is now applied specifically to the pop-up element, complementing its overall design and user experience.
