Customization

The <Scrollbars> component consists of the following elements:

• view The element your content is rendered in
• trackHorizontal The horizontal scrollbars track
• trackVertical The vertical scrollbars track
• thumbHorizontal The horizontal thumb
• thumbVertical The vertical thumb

Each element can be rendered individually with a function that you pass to the component. Say, you want use your own className for each element:

import { Scrollbars } from 'react-custom-scrollbars';

class CustomScrollbars extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <Scrollbars
        renderTrackHorizontal={props => <div {...props} className="track-horizontal"/>}
        renderTrackVertical={props => <div {...props} className="track-vertical"/>}
        renderThumbHorizontal={props => <div {...props} className="thumb-horizontal"/>}
        renderThumbVertical={props => <div {...props} className="thumb-vertical"/>}
        renderView={props => <div {...props} className="view"/>}>
        {this.props.children}
      </Scrollbars>
    );
  }
}

class App extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <CustomScrollbars style={{ width: 500, height: 300 }}>
        <p>Some great content...</p>
      </CustomScrollbars>
    );
  }
}

Important: You will always need to pass through the given props for the respective element like in the example above: <div {...props} className="track-horizontal"/>. This is because we need to pass some default styles down to the element in order to make the component work.

If you are working with inline styles, you could do something like this:

import { Scrollbars } from 'react-custom-scrollbars';

class CustomScrollbars extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <Scrollbars
        renderTrackHorizontal={({ style, ...props }) =>
            <div {...props} style={{ ...style, backgroundColor: 'blue' }}/>
        }>
        {this.props.children}
      </Scrollbars>
    );
  }
}

Respond to scroll events

If you want to change the appearance in respond to the scrolling position, you could do that like:

import { Scrollbars } from 'react-custom-scrollbars';
class CustomScrollbars extends Component {
    constructor(props, context) {
        super(props, context)
        this.state = { top: 0 };
        this.handleScrollFrame = this.handleScrollFrame.bind(this);
        this.renderView = this.renderView.bind(this);
    }

    handleScrollFrame(values) {
        const { top } = values;
        this.setState({ top });
    }

    renderView({ style, ...props }) {
        const { top } = this.state;
        const color = top * 255;
        const customStyle = {
            backgroundColor: `rgb(${color}, ${color}, ${color})`
        };
        return (
            <div {...props} style={{ ...style, ...customStyle }}/>
        );
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <Scrollbars
                renderView={this.renderView}
                onScrollFrame={this.handleScrollFrame}
                {...this.props}/>
        );
    }
}
