I have been playing around with phpbb2 2.0.17 trying to get a new style going. I have followed the directions at www.phpbbhacks.com Creating a Template With subSilver [ http://www.phpbbhacks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=13169 ] and made a new style. Everything looks fine with the new style, it has been added and I can edit it from the Styles Administration page. I can even make changes under Edit Theme and the changes show up in the forum. The problem comes when I try to customize the forum past the few things shown in Edit Theme. For starters I would like to change the scroll bar colors. I have changed <new theme>.css located in the template/<new theme> directory. The obvious answer would be to change the following.

body {
background-color: #0e7a8e;
scrollbar-face-color: #23898e;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #ffffff;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #63798D;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #ffffff;
scrollbar-track-color: #085766;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #000000;
color: #FFFFFF:}

I have changed this and uploaded to the proper directory with no results. Do I have to do anything else or should this work?

Remember, that only IE supports this way of scrollbar colour change.

Should be


This wont make any difference, but it is better to do it.

Unfortuntally I am viewing it in IE, I have even cleared the cache several times.

It should work. I'll try messing with my PHPBB in a bit and get back to you, there may be some part that you missed out, but I don't know at this moment.
