Description

The scrollbars (not the minimap thing), dont have a property to change the colour.
I tried { token: "", background: rgba(155, 107, 255, 0.25) }, in the rules part of my theme but it makes the entire monaco become a gray page for some reason even though the color i choose is purple theme. I dont want the scrollbars to be transparent but be able to have their own colour.

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by tracing Monaco's theme color handling and scrollbar implementation, then determine where an independent scrollbar color could be exposed; done means a theme can set scrollbar color without changing the editor background and the behavior is covered by an appropriate test or playground example.
