In Windows Forms (WinForms) applications, the ScrollBar control does not have a BackColor property by default. This means that you cannot directly change the background color of a ScrollBar by setting its BackColor property. you can work around this limitation by creating a custom ScrollBar control by inheriting from the existing ScrollBar control and overriding the OnPaint method to draw your custom background color. using System; using System.Windows.Forms; public class CustomScrollBar : VScrollBar { public CustomScrollBar() { this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint, true); this.BackColor = Color.Blue; // Set your desired background color } protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) { base.OnPaint(e); using (SolidBrush brush = new SolidBrush(this.BackColor)) { e.Graphics.FillRectangle(brush, e.ClipRectangle); } } } we create a custom ScrollBar control named CustomScrollBar and set its BackColor property to the desired background color. We then override the OnPaint method to draw the background color as a rectangle. You can replace Color.Blue with your preferred background color.
