Hi Damian,
Yes it is.


Here's a list of other properties you can alter:
ColorUIResource-----
ScrollBar.thumbLightShadow
ScrollBar.thumbDarkShadow
ScrollBar.highlight
ScrollBar.shadow
ScrollBar.foreground
ScrollBar.thumb
Integer----
ScrollBar.width
The thing to watch out for with these properties is that if you don't get the name right the code will compile and run but it won't have any effect....
You could write the contents of the UIDefaults to a file for future reference ( once you start playing with the colors you're not going to want to stop )

Hope that helps,
Terry
