  Hi Brad,

  You can use the below CSS snippet either as part of Global CSS so that it is applicable to all applications across the platform or you can use it in the inline CSS Injector if your requirement is only for one application.

  .nicescroll-rails > div {
  background-color: red !important; //Color of your choice
  }

  In addition, the scroll bar is implemented with the help of an external library called "Nice Scroll". While discussing with the product team about the CSS options, we were informed that the product team is planning to move away from the third party library file and implement native scroll. Therefore, the provided solution holds good as of today's AgilePoint Version (NX v7 SU2.5).

  Hope this helps.!

  
  Thanks,
  Varun Agasthya

  Varun,

  This partially worked.  When I open my form, the scroll bar is now the color I want.  However, my form has multiple sections.  When I switch to section 2, for example, the scroll bar goes back to the default color and remains that way, even if I go back to section 1.

  Thoughts?

  You may have to use JavaScript and in the OnSectionNavigation function, change the CSS with JS, as the secondary sections might not have elements created when the form is first loaded, and might not be affected by the same CSS as is above.

  Additionally, if you use the Console window in your Browser, you can search through the elements and discover if the secondary section scroll bars are indeed the same as the primary section scroll bar to see if you just need a little more robust CSS snippet than was provided up above

  It doesn't look like the element names change when the section is changed.  I'm not that versed in JavaScript.  If you have a moment to provide direction, I would be grateful :)

  Look for onSectionNavigation there, and you'll put your actions in there.

  It'll be something like this (this is untested and probably not perfect)

  $('.nicescroll-rails > div').css('background-color', 'blue');

  I placed the following code in the Shared Javascript section, but it didn't work.    I also tried substituting eventArgs with eventArgs.previousSection, but that thru an unexpected token error.  Again, not well versed in JS.  Also, if possible, I'd like to use a hex value for the color.

  eFormEvents.onSectionNavigation = function (eventArgs) 
  {
  $('.nicescroll-rails > div').css('background-color', 'blue');
  }

  Hi Brad,
  Please give a try with below css 
  .oob, .nicescroll-rails > div { background-color: red !important; }

  Let me know if this works.

  I get an Unexpected Token error on Line 3:

  eFormEvents.onSectionNavigation = function (eventArgs)
  {
  .oob, .nicescroll-rails > div { background-color: red !important; }
  }

  Hi Brad,
  You are now mixing css and JavaScript. Try in the console to build the right selector inside $('') and with this selector modify css parameters as earlier.
  Regards

  My IT guy reworked the JS to what I have shown below.  The original snippet from Casey was accurate.  The problem is that it tries to call that function before the section loads.  We put in a timer to delay the call, which seems to work.  The smallest amount of time we could set it to that would still allow it to work was 1500ms.  What my IT guy wasn't sure about is if the timer could be replaced by something else, such as a section load.  This is where I would presume "eventArgs.previousSection" comes into play, but we couldn't figure out how to use it.  Thoughts?

  eFormEvents.onSectionNavigation = function (eventArgs)
  {
  setTimeout(function(){ $('.nicescroll-rails > div').css('background-color', '#521c1a') }, 1500);
  }
