There's a scroll bar control on there somewhere, I think. If so, you should
be able to get its window handle and send that handle messages just like any
other window. As mentioned, find the window handle for the scroll bar and
subclass it is your best chance. If you can't make that work, the only way
I know to change the scroll color would be to change the global color
setting for scroll bars, all scroll bars, in all applications.

Not sure if understand properly. Scrollbar is part of WebBrowser
control (scrollbar is controled by webbrowser, I cannot check what's
the status of scroll, cannot set new position etc).
I've checked RemoteSpy - dependency is: "No name" (#NETCF_AGL_BASE)-
>"No name" (#NETCF_AGL_BASE)->(...)->"No name" (#NETCF_AGL_CONTAINER)-
>"No name" (IExplore)->{"No name" (MSPIE Status), "No name" (PIEHTML)}
Also is some window "No name" (Url Moniker Notification Window).
Also another window, related with my application but without childs
It's strange because WebBrowser is not separate application, it's a
control in my application, on Panel.

It's not necessarily true that some particular event handler will work for a
WebBrowser control. Do what I suggested and properly subclass the control,
in C, if necessary, to familiarize yourself with what needs to be done.
Then port that code to managed code.

I've found some workarround for WndProc:
https://blogs.msdn.com/netcfteam/archive/2005/05/20/420551.aspx
and
https://blogs.msdn.com/netcfteam/archive/2005/05/20/420551.aspx
Also I've added WindowsMessages as mentioned in
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/csharpgeneral/thread/211058d5-f052-49ef-aab5-38baf5b3703e

Following these articles I've created class WebBrowserEx:WebBrowser,
overrided method OnParentChanged and implemented method
WM_Notify_Handler.
But WM_Notify_Handler is never called :(
So I tried with ListView (because ListView is another control where I
must customize scrollbars).
And WM_NOTIFY_HANDLER is called many times. When listview is created
and when is scrolled. But nmHdr.code contains strange values - it's 0
or some big number, nothing similar to defined values.
Any help?

Checked again. Remote spy doesn't find any scrollbar window for
listview and webbrowser. But if Form contains scrollbar than I can
find it in remote spy.

Can I (from code, at runtime) change global color settings for
scrollbar? SystemColors (which contains default colors for all
controls, windows, elements) attributes are read only. I've found that
it's not possible to change SystemColors attributes and the only way
to customize is custom paiting
But for webbrowser webbrowser:
1) I'm not able to handle message WM_CTLCOLORSCROLLBAR
2) I don't have any information about scrolling, scrollbar's position
and size so I cannot manually paint the scrollbar rectangle

Try P/Invoking GetSysColor() and SetSysColors() for COLOR_SCROLLBAR to change
the colors for all scroll bars on the device.

I would try, as mentioned before in C, to handle the scrollbar control color
message by subclassing the browser window. While you're at it, you could
also handle it in the main window procedure. Maybe it ends up there...
