Lion-like scrollbar with jQuery?

Question

Does anyone know a jQuery plugin that makes Mac OS X Lion style scrollbars for every browser?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Here's an image for Windows users

Answer 1

The scrollpane Jquery Plugin is the closest you'll get.

see the lozenge demo.

To make it more like Lion, you could customize it to only show the bar when the track div is hovered over and ensure you use the animateEase function.

Oh and for extra Apple goodness change the direction of the scroll so down is up and up is down :-)

Answer 2

Interesting stuff, I wrote a plugin that does just that. It's called LionBars.

Answer 3

The day Lion was released I was very fond of the scrollbar in the OS. The browsers already have a slick default scrollbar but I thought how about them Windows users ;).

It is still under construction but it might help you out: OSX Scroll

Based on tinyscrollbar but I made some adjustments. You can enable autohide (like in the OS). Just have a look at the source files.

Hope it helps.

Answer 4

nanoscroller or nicescroller would be a better option for smooth scrolling.
