How to Add a Margin to a CSS Webkit Scrollbar

How to add left and right padding to ::webkit-scrollbar-thumb?

You could try faking the padding with background-clip: padding-box and applying a transparent border-right and left.

::-webkit-scrollbar {
  background: #181818;
  width: 20px;
}

 ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
  padding: 0 4px;
  border-right:4px solid transparent;
  border-left:4px solid transparent;
  background: #909090;
  background-clip: padding-box;
  border-radius: 100px;
  &:hover {
    background: #606060;
  }
}

html,
body {
  height: 300%;
}

Faking left and right margins for webkit scrollbar?

All right. Was not so hard, but unfortunately there is a lot of extra html in my solution. Please tell if need comments and/or explanation of something.
Result is below.

.dropdown {

    width: 360px;

    background-color: green;

    padding-bottom: 10px;

    max-height: 365px;

    margin-bottom: 20px;

}

.itemContainer {

    max-height: 355px;

    overflow-y: auto;

    padding-left: 10px;

    padding-top: 10px;

    margin-right: 10px;

}

.itemContainer>div {

    display: table;

    width: 100%;

}

.item {

    display: table-row;

}

.item>div{

    display: table-cell;

    vertical-align: top;

    padding-bottom: 10px;

}

.item:last-child>div {

    padding-bottom: 0;

}

.item > div:nth-child(1) {

    width: 100%;

}

.item>div:nth-child(1)>div{

    background-color: white;

    padding: 10px;

    height: 51px;

}

.item:nth-child(5) > div:nth-child(2) > div {

    width: 10px;

}

@media screen {

    .itemContainer::-webkit-scrollbar {

        width: 6px;

        border-radius: 2px;

    }

    .itemContainer::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {

        border-radius: 2px;

        background-color: black;

        border: solid red 10px;

    }

    .itemContainer::-webkit-scrollbar-track {

        margin-top: 10px;

        background-color: yellow;

        width: 6px;

    }

}

  <div class="dropdown">

    <div class="itemContainer"><div>

      <div class="item"><div><div>thing</div></div><div><div></div></div></div>

      <div class="item"><div><div>thing</div></div><div><div></div></div></div>

      <div class="item"><div><div>thing</div></div><div><div></div></div></div>

      <div class="item"><div><div>thing</div></div><div><div></div></div></div>

      <div class="item"><div><div>thing</div></div><div><div></div></div></div>

    </div></div>

  </div>

  <div class="dropdown">

    <div class="itemContainer"><div>

      <div class="item"><div><div>thing</div></div><div><div></div></div></div>

      <div class="item"><div><div>thing</div></div><div><div></div></div></div>

      <div class="item"><div><div>thing</div></div><div><div></div></div></div>

CSS vertical scrollbar padding left/right in UL possible?

You can see an example below, basically forget adding margin or padding there, just increase the width/height of scroll area, and decrease the width height of thumb/track.

Quoted from how to customise custom scroll?

body {
  min-height: 1000px;
  font-family: sans-serif;
}

div#container {
  height: 200px;
  width: 300px;
  overflow: scroll;
  border-radius: 5px;
  margin: 10px;
  border: 1px solid #AAAAAA;
}

div#content {
  height: 1000px;
  outline: none;
  padding: 10px;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar {
  width: 14px;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
  border: 4px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
  background-clip: padding-box;
  border-radius: 9999px;
  background-color: #AAAAAA;
}

<div id="container">
  <div id="content" contenteditable>
    Click to type...
  </div>
</div>
