Lighter colors would obstruct view and distract. It's shouldn't be "screaming" anyhow. That's the point.

The first one is the "natural" look everyone expects, but It is indeed too heavy.

I would go with the last one too, but I have a question first: Would you be able to click and drag the position indicator? Or it will be just that  - an indicator - and to scroll the information you will have to click the arrows?

kkmic, ideally it would be draggable, but firstly as indicator. At least :)

Just for notice. Those are 1 and 6. If scrollbar frame fills almost whole scrollbar in 1 it will look too occlusive, while in 6 it will be hollow.

my vote is for #1 or #5.

if we go with #1, though, I too think that it is too heavy/obstructing. perhaps make it less wide? if you take two pixels off each side, so that it fits between the vertical lines, would that still look good?

It will be harder to aim when dragging will be enabled.
Two pixels from each side is 4 pixels, overall width of it is 15, so it's 1/3 of width. So besides of being heavy, it also become less "elegant" because of non regular width.

I prefer the latter with the hollow center i think it looks light weight,

From the original lost that will be number 2

Yup, #6 is better.

You should open a poll :)
