jQuery.NiceScroll

v. 3.7.6

The best nicescroll release ever - extremely smooth and consistent in modern browsers and mobile devices, with low resource usage

Nicescroll as a Greasemonkey plugin: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/119910 (freezed)

Nicescroll is a jQuery plugin, for nice scrollbars with a very similar ios/mobile style.

HORIZONAL scrollbar support!
It supports DIVs, IFrames, textarea, and document page (body) scrollbars.
Compatible with all recent desktop browsers and older: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, IE8+, Safari (win/mac), Opera. (all A-grade browsers)
Compatible with mobile devices: iPad/iPhone/iPod, Android 4+, Blackberry phones and Playbook (WebWorks/Table OS), Windows Phone 8 and 10.
Compatible with all touch devices: iPad, Android tablets, Window Surface.
Compabible with multi-input devices (mouse with touch or pen): Window Surface, Chrome Desktop on touch notebook.
Compatible with 2-directional mice: Apple Magic Mouse, Apple Mouser with 2-dir wheel, PC mouse with 2-dir wheel (if browser support it).

What you get: customizable and scrollable divs with momentum for iPad and consistent scrollable areas for all desktop and mobile platforms.

Sexy zoom feature: you can "zoom in" on the content of any nicescroll enabled DIV. Nice to use and nice to see: all the content of the DIV in fullscreen mode. It works on desktop (double click on div) either in mobile/touch devices using the pinch gesture.

On modern browsers hardware accelerated scrolling has been implemented. Using animationFrame for smoother and cpu-saving scroll animations. (when browser supports)

"Use strict" tested script for maximum code quality. Bower and AMD ready.

Warning for IE6/IE7 users: support for your browser has been deprecated. (Why do you still use this? Please upgrade to a more stable and modern browser)

FEATURES

Simple installation and activation: functions with NO modification of your code. (some exceptions can happen, in which case you can write to me.)
Very stylish scrollbars with no occupation on your window: original browser scrollbars need some of page space and reduces window/div usable width.
You can style main document scrollbar (body) too! (not all devices/browsers support this feature yet)
You can scroll by dragging the cursor, mouse wheel (speed customizable), keyboard navigation (cursor keys, pagup/down keys, home/end keys) on all browsers.
Scrolling is smooth (like modern tablet browsing). Speed is customizable.
Zoom feature.
Hardware accelerated scroll (where available).
Animation frame support for smooth scrolling and cpu-saving.
Dragging scroll mode with scrolling momentum (like touch devices).
Tested for all major mobile and desktop browser versions.
Support for touch devices.
Support for multi-input devices (MSPointer/Pointer support).
Compatible with many other browsers and webkit derivatives!
Scrollbar has a lot a customizable features.
Native scroll events are working.
Fully integrated with jQuery.
Compatibile with jQuery UI, jQuery Touch, jQuery Mobile

DEPENDENCIES

jQuery is required to be included in your scripts. Works with jQuery 1.x / 2.x / 3.x branch (slim version don't works)

INSTALLATION Put loading script tag after jquery script tag and loading the zoom image in the same folder of the script:

When using the zoom feature, copy "zoomico.png" in to the same folder as jquery.nicescroll.js.

HOW TO USE

ALWAYS Initialize nicescroll in a (document) ready statement.

// 1. Simple mode, it styles document scrollbar:
$(function() {  
    $("body").niceScroll();
});

// 2. Instance with object returned:
var nice = false;
$(function() {  
    nice = $("body").niceScroll();
});

// 3. Style a DIV and change cursor color:
$(function() {  
    $("#thisdiv").niceScroll({cursorcolor:"#00F"});
});

// 4. DIV with "wrapper", formed by two divs, the first is the vieport, the latter is the content:
$(function() {
    $("#viewportdiv").niceScroll("#wrapperdiv",{cursorcolor:"#00F"});
});

// 5. Get nicescroll object:
var nice = $("#mydiv").getNiceScroll();

// 6. Hide scrollbars:
$("#mydiv").getNiceScroll().hide();

// 7. Check for scrollbars resize (when content or position have changed):
$("#mydiv").getNiceScroll().resize();

// 8. Scrolling to a position:
$("#mydiv").getNiceScroll(0).doScrollLeft(x, duration); // Scroll X Axis
$("#mydiv").getNiceScroll(0).doScrollTop(y, duration); // Scroll Y Axis
