This PR adds 3 new utilities for styling the width of scrollbars.
scrollbar-width-auto- For resetting a scrollbar to full-width, useful for overriding the other two*.scrollbar-thin- For setting thescrollbar-widthproperty tothin, which normally results in a thinner scrollbar.scrollbar-none- For setting thescrollbar-widthproperty tonone, which hides the scrollbar. This utility also includes a fallback to the legacy::-webkit-scrollbar { display: none; }. Read about::-webkit-scrollbarhere.scrollbar-nonemight take precendence overscrollbar-width-autoin WebKit (and chromium) browsers because the::-webkit-scrollbarrule beats thescrollbar-width: autorule.Why?
Styling of scrollbars is a long requested feature. See https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/discussions?discussions_q=is%3Aopen+scrollbar for a list of discussions requesting utilities for scrollbar styling.
This PR would be an initial step in that direction allowing authors to hide scrollbars (while maintaining the ability to scroll) in UIs where that is needed.
The naming of
scrollbar-width-autois different because the auto value is used across 3 separate scrollbar properties (scrollbar-width,scrollbar-colorandscrollbar-gutter. We could keep this inconsistency, change all values to bescrollbar-width-X, or we could drop the auto utility?scrollbar-widthhas 71% support according to caniuse. Though this andscrollbar-gutterare part of Interop 2024 and thescrollbar-widthproperty is enabled on WebKit trunk so should be supported in Safari soon ™️.Due to the currently limited support mentioned above the
scrollbar-noneutility includes the::-webkit-scrollbarfallback to maximise Browser compatability including the fallback brings that utility up to 100% of the supported Tailwind browsers.See #5732 for a previous attempt at contributing this. No worries if the Tailwind team still aren't ready for scrollbar styling, but given the change in browser support status of this API, I thought I'd give it another go.
If the team are open to these contributions I'd happily also open one for
scrollbar-gutterand evenscrollbar-color(might need some API discussions but see #5751 for an initial idea)
