How to customize scroll bars with CSS for kendo window contents

[Praveen]

I want to change the look and feel of the scroll bars coming over the kendo window contents or components. Is there any way to change the style of scroll bar.

Hi Praveen,

Yes, you can apply scrollbar styles to the .k-window-content class. Please note that scrollbar-related script-based plugins are not supported for autogenerated Kendo UI elements, because they modify the DOM. If you want to use a script-based scrollbar plugin for the Window, you should do the following:

1. Do not set height to the Window, so that it can expand, according to its content, and the Window's scrollbar is never used

2. Remove the padding of the .k-window-content element with a CSS rule, which has specificity greater than 0,0,1,1 (also known as 11)

3. Add some <div> or another container with a set height inside the Window content.

4. Apply the scrollbar plugin to your <div> element.

Hello Mohnish,

The <div> which contains all the Kendo UI Window content and which is normally scrollable is the Window widget element, that is a <div class="k-window-content">. The same <div> also holds the ID attribute of the Kendo UI Window, if such exists.

You can try initializing the custom iScroll widget, taking into account the above information. However, please note that we do not support integration with third-party scroll widgets, especially ones that modify the DOM. Undesired side effects may occur.
