Styling scrollbars within Ionic mode in Ionic 6: A step-by-step guide

Question

ion-modal has a default scrollbar that appears if the content overflows. I want to style the scrollbar.

I can style the scrollbar in the application using ::-webkit-scrollbar, ::-webkit-scrollbar-track and ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb, but it doesn't seem to work in modal. I tried applying these elements to multiple components inside the modal, such as ion-content::-webkit-scrollbar, but it doesn't work.

Here's the general way to style scrollbars within Ionic mode in Ionic 6.

Wrap the ionic mode content inside

Tag as shown below


    //modal content goes here

Then add the following css of the scrollbar in the global css file

ion-content {
     --offset-bottom: auto !important;
     --overflow: auto;
     background: var(--ion-toolbar-background, var(--ion-background-color, 
                  #000000)) !important;
     overflow: auto;

 &::-webkit-scrollbar {
     width: 5px;
     height: 5px;
 }

 &::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
     background: rgb(0, 0, 0);
 }

 &::-webkit-scrollbar-track:hover {
     background: #35d703;
 }

 &::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
     background: rgb(75, 75, 75);
 }

  &::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover {
      background: #94173a
  }

  .inner-scroll {
      scrollbar-width: thin;
  }
}
