Custom Scrollbars with jQuery

Sometimes, as web designers, we create a perfect design. Everything is exactly the way it should be, every pixel in the right spot, every color the right tinge.

In this tutorial, I’ll show how to do just that.

In this post, I’ll show how that can be fixed so that the user can have an excellent experience even on a site using Isotope.
