Examples

Basic example

Use thinScrollbar() with scroll("y") to ask for a thin scrollbar whose gutter is reserved up front. Compare it with the default one beside it:

This paragraph is taller than its box, so the last lines of it do not fit. Scroll to read the rest, while the page around the box stays exactly where it is.

<div mix={[...]}>
	<div mix={[scroll("y"), thinScrollbar(), bs(32), is(56), ...]}>
		<p mix={[...]}>
			This paragraph is taller than its box, so the last lines of it do not fit. Scroll to read
			the rest, while the page around the box stays exactly where it is.
		</p>
	</div>
	<div mix={[scroll("y"), bs(32), is(56), ...]}>
		<p mix={[...]}>
			This paragraph is taller than its box, so the last lines of it do not fit. Scroll to read
			the rest, while the page around the box stays exactly where it is.
		</p>
	</div>
</div>

Applying on a state

Wrap the call in a state utility to scope it to one selector.

u.hover(u.thinScrollbar())

Responsive design
