[GNC] Change GnuCash scrollbar color in CSS?

[Glenn Fowler]

Thanks Adrien for the tip. I dug through some themes and figured it out.
Just leaving this here for someone in the future:

/* Scollbar */
scrollbar slider {
  /* Size of the scrollbar */
  min-width: 22px;
  min-height: 22px;
  border-radius: 0px;

  /* Padding around the slider */
  border: 7px solid transparent;

  /* scrollbar slider color */
  background-color: cornflowerblue;
}

/* scrollbar slider color on hover */
scrollbar slider:hover {
  background-color: royalblue;
}

/* scrollbar slider color when clicked */
scrollbar slider:hover:active {
  background-color: navy;
}

/* minimum slider height for large register entries */
scrollbar.vertical slider {
  min-height: 70px;
}
