I am trying to change the Backcolor and style of the datagridview scrollbars control of windows form with below line
this.dataGridView_Constants.Controls[1].BackColor = Color.Red

It's not working.
Is there any solution available for it ,Either it can be doing straight code changes or achieved by paint/custom controls.

Please let me know if you have any solution for it.

Thanks

As far as I know, you can't change the system provided scrollbars for your application - and for good reason. Users "know" what scrollbars look like, and how to use them so significant changes could make apps harder to user.

This may help: How to skin scrollbars for Panels, in C#[^] - but be aware it is an old article, so it's very possible that it won't work properly in more recent OSes.

I'd ask myself why I want to change "standard UI components" at all ...
