Scrollbar Colors Yes you can change the colour of the scrollbar. Go to this scrollbar generator, and try out a few colors, and they'll give you the code to put into your headers. www.solidsnakedesigns.com/scrollbar.html3D Effects Here are a couple of codes to give your forums a 3d effect. These codes, whichever one you choose, need to go into your headers. Firstly: <style type="text/css"> <!-- td {border: 4 outset; border-color: #CCCCCC;} --> </style> You can change the border color to the color you would like the border to be. You can change the 4 outset, to the depth you want, this is currently 4, but you can increase or decrease that value to get the effect you like, you can also choose inset, which will have the inverse effect of what you currently see. Second: <style type="text/css"> <!-- BODY .windowbg {border-style: outset; border-color: #000000 #000000 #000000 #000000; border-top-width: 2px; border-right-width: 2px; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-left-width: 2px;} .windowbg2 {border-style: outset; border-color: #000000 #000000 #000000 #000000; border-top-width: 2px; border-right-width: 2px; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-left-width: 2px;} .titlebg {border-style: outset; border-color: #000000 #000000 #000000 #000000; border-top-width: 2px; border-right-width: 2px; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-left-width: 2px;} .catbg {border-style: outset; border-color: #000000 #000000 #000000 #000000; border-top-width: 2px; border-right-width: 2px; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-left-width: 2px;} --> </style> Where it says outset, you can also have inset, where it has the inverse effect. You can also change the 2px to 1px or 3px etc. This determines how exagerrated the effect is. You can change the border color to what you want, the four start from how they are listed, i.e. the first numbers will effect the top, the second the right the third the bottom and the last set the left of the table borders

Text In Headers/Footers
Bold
<b>TEXT</b>
Underline
<u>TEXT</u>
Italics
<i>TEXT</i>
If you want to have bold text in italics, or italics underlined etc, just use a combination of the two. However, make sure the that the codes match each other in steps, e.g. <b> matches with </b> and not an </i>
Example of bad code <b><i>text</b></i>
Example of good code <b><i>text</i></b>
Glow
<font style="filter:glow(color=red, strength=2); height: 1;">TEXT</font>
Change the red, for the color you want the glow text to glow and change the 2 to the strength you want the glow to be
Shadow
<font style="filter: shadow(color=red, direction=0); height: 1;">TEXT</font>
Change the red, for the color you want the glow text to glow and change the 0 for the direction, in degrees, you want it to face., these are the values:
0=top 45=top right 90=right 135=bottom right 180=bottom 225=bottom left 270=left 215=top left
