The modern engine rendering uses the OS to draw those, but you can 
revert to the older control rendering by setting the lookAndFeel 
property to "Motif" or "Win95" to have settable colors, where the 
hiliteColor is the thumb color and the shadowColor is the background.

Unfortunately, all other controls look pretty wonky with the lookAndFeel 
set to anything but "Appearance Manager".

You can also craft custom progress bars and other scrollbar types 
yourself, but it's enough work that I submitted this request some time 
ago to allow us to set the lookAndFeel for specific controls:
