Hello

I have just made a dynamic scrollable text box and was wondering if there was anyway of changing the background colour of the text box. I would like to have white text on a blue background in the text box but am not sure how to do this. Also is there a way of changing the colour or style of the scrollbar. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank You

You can apply a style sheet to change the colors of scroll bars and such. It’s at the end of this tut:
