How to change the color of Chrome's scroll bar under Cinnamon 2.0

The default theme that comes with Cinnamon 2.0 is pretty good, and it's the one I use, but I have come to hate the color scheme for the scroll bars. The contrast is too low. I normally use the scroll wheel on my mouse, but when I don't, it gets annoying to have to scan all over the right side of the screen to find the scroll control. The first step to fixing this is creating a new theme:

mkdir ~/.themes
cp -R /usr/share/themes/Mint-X ~/.themes/mytheme

Now, find this file inside the mytheme directory open it: gedit gtk-2.0/Apps/chrome.rc
Find these settings and change the value to the RGB color of your choice (use gcolor2 for a quick and easy color selector): ChromeGtkFrame::scrollbar-slider-prelight-color = "#50AFFF" ChromeGtkFrame::scrollbar-slider-normal-color = "#40AAFF" Now open the system settings > themes > other settings > controls and select your theme. Enjoy high-contrast, hassle-free scroll bar controls.
