About

slimScroll is a small (4.6KB) jQuery plugin that transforms any div into a scrollable area with a nice scrollbar - similar to the one Facebook and Google started using in their products recently. slimScroll doesn't occupy any visual space as it only appears on a user initiated mouse-over. User can drag the scrollbar or use mouse-wheel to change the scroll value.

SlimScroll has been around for a long time, and it is very stable and extreamly lightweight. In all sense of the word it gets the job done efficiently.

Example for Size, position and direction

The example below we use the following codes for position: 'left', height: '300px', railVisible: true, alwaysVisible: true

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed diam sem, imperdiet at mollis vestibulum, bibendum id purus. Aliquam molestie, leo sed molestie condimentum, massa enim lobortis massa, in vulputate diam lorem quis justo. Nullam nec dignissim mi. In non varius nibh. Proin et eros nisi, eu vulputate libero. Suspendisse potenti. Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Duis ultricies augue id risus dapibus blandit.

Integer malesuada molestie dolor sit amet viverra. Mauris nec urna lorem. Integer commodo feugiat ligula eget fermentum. In in tellus a risus convallis pellentesque. Cras non faucibus est. Morbi sagittis risus mollis nisl mollis ac mattis mi volutpat. Vivamus ac rutrum elit. Suspendisse semper orci vitae sapien sollicitudin mattis.

Example for width and color

The example below we use color: color.primary._700, size: '20px', height: '300px', alwaysVisible: true
