Scrollbar uses button background colour. Can the user override this (by editing a config file by hand)?

Duncan, thank you! I have no doubt that you shall fell 19 Sardukar

Although the Oxygen style does let one configure the scrollbar to have
a hover effect, the rest of the theme (particularly the tabs) is too
stressful for me to discern. However, the fact that this is possible
highlights the fact that the theme can control the scrollbar
independently of the button colour. I have grepped "oxygen" and
"plastique" (my preferred theme) to find the file(s) responsible, but
I have not found them. I will continue my search and post back if I
find the file(s) that oxygen and plastique use to set the appearance
of the scrollbars.

Thanks. A solution seems closer yet!
