NiceScrollNative

A simpler alternative to jquery.nicescroll - with limitations

If you desire a far simpler, native alternative to jquery.nicescroll, look no further. But note that this has both advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages

• uses the native scrollbar
• extremely light weight
• vanilla JS, no dependencies required
• more customizable with editable SCSS and JS files
• mimics jquery.nicescroll reasonably well
• doesn't create a ton of extra DOM objects
• no JS running in the background to keep calculating said objects' positions
• no need to control behaviour, such as resizing the thumb based on change of scroll height
• scrolls large content far faster (using home/end keys)

Disadvantages

• Webkit browsers only, with an approximation for Mozilla built in
• doesn't overlap, takes up space in the browser body
• no animations, such as fade in/out
• body scroll only; will consider making it applicable to any scrollable element
