Change color of the scroll bar?

Question

I am trying to turn my entire application black with white or some light colored text.
Is there some way I can change the color of the scroll bar?
Also, if I have a JTable, there is a bright grey border I would like to dim down a bit.
Any guidance would is appreciated.

Hi,
This code will show you the current UI settings.
If you want to change ie. the scrollbar background use:
UIManager.put("Scrollbar.background", your Color);
Hope this helps.
