Beauregard,

I have Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux i686; U; fr-CA) Presto/2.2.15 Version/
10.10

and you may have to set

Tools/Preferences ... Ctrl+F12/Advanced tab/Content category/Style
options... button/View tab/Style scrollbars

To Mason:

Styling scrollbars does nothing, achieves nothing worth to promote
your books and can be prevented, neutralized in Opera and in Internet
Explorer. Objectively speaking, it is in your best interests to work
on your webpage, webpage content, webpage layout and to leave alone
the chrome aspect of your users' browsers.

season's greetings to both of you,

Gérard

But Gerard, that would mean I would *want* to have some extremely small
number of web sites present me with non-standard, confusing, unwanted
controls! :-)

I will certainly second that motion.

And from me as well.
