I actually got used to the scrollbars but I did add some code to fade them out completely because I gave up giving them any consideration. So mostly I don't see them or need them, and hence the last thing I would need is a background colour for them.

```js
(function(){
    var hidescrollers = () => {
        $('#red-ui-workspace-scroll-v').fadeOut(300)
        $('#red-ui-workspace-scroll-h').fadeOut(300)
    };

    var hiderscrollerstimeoutid = setTimeout(hidescrollers, 1500)

    var eventHandler = () => {
        clearTimeout(hiderscrollerstimeoutid)
        hiderscrollerstimeoutid = setTimeout(hidescrollers, 1500)
    }

    RED.events.off('view:navigate', eventHandler)
    RED.events.on('view:navigate', eventHandler)
})();

```
