Support styling for scrollbar widgets

[tremby]

A look at the source code seems to suggest the scrollbar widgets' style is hardcoded as the ratatui default. It'd be nice to be able to pass in some style options.

Or is there a way to do this I'm overlooking?

Yeah, those seem to be hardcoded here:

tui-widgets/tui-scrollbar/src/scrollbar/mod.rs

Lines 285 to 287 in 0626b30

	track_style: Style::new().bg(Color::DarkGray),
	thumb_style: Style::new().fg(Color::White).bg(Color::DarkGray),
	arrow_style: Some(Style::new().fg(Color::White).bg(Color::DarkGray)),

We could potentially introduce a ScrollbarStyle and make them customizable though. Interested in contributing? 👼🏼

I am a rust beginner. I would need some guidance and likely rounds of review. I hesitate because I'm often on the other end of this and I don't want to be the cause of a "would have been quicker to do this myself" situation for you!

No worries :)
LLMs can usually help with these cases. I might implement this at some point but my availability is a bit limited these days.

I am also new to Rust. I would like to attempt working on this enhancement. May I start with this if there is no one actively working on this?

Go for it
