I'm still fairly new to HTML and CSS.

Does anyone know how I can move my scroll bar just a few pixels to the left, away from the edge?

This is what it currently looks like:

If you remove borders, it looks like the scrollbar is pushed away from the right side of the viewport.

body {
  background-color: grey;
}

.container-wrapper {
  margin-bottom: 24px;
}

.container {
  height: 100px;
  overflow-y: auto;
  margin-right: 24px;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar {
  width: 7px;
  height: 0px;
  right: 3px;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-button {
  width: 10px;
  height: 0px;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
  background: #FFFFFF;
  border: 5px none;
  border-radius: 3px;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover {
  background: #FFFFFF;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:active {
  background: #FFFFFF;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
  border: 5px none;
  border-radius: 2px;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-track:hover {
  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-track:active {
  background: #FFFFFF;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-corner {
  background: #FFFFFF;
}

CodePudding user response：

There are different ways of solving this issue. However, I guess none of them just work exactly as you would expect.

The easiest way to solve your issue would be to give your body absolute positioning:

html {
    overflow: auto;
    background: blue;
}
body {
    position: absolute;
    top: 20px;
    left: 20px;
    bottom: 20px;
    right: 20px;
    padding: 30px; 
    overflow-y: scroll;
    overflow-x: hidden;
}

Edit: As pointed out in the other answer you could also use margin to imitate this behavior.

You could also give your scrollbar the same border color as the background, e.g.

body {
    scrollbar-width: thin;
    scrollbar-color: var(--thumbBG) var(--scrollbarBG);
}
body::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
    background: var(--scrollbarBG);
    border-right: 15px solid blue;
}

body::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
    background-color: var(--thumbBG) ;
    border: 0px solid blue;
    border-right: 15px solid blue;
}
