Question

Im using WinForms and the DataGridView.

I have styled the application to utilize the FlatAppearance and all looks OK.

The only issue I have is trying to Style the Scrollbars to be a single Flat color and no visual style.

Is there some way to override this default behavior ?

Also, can this also be done for DataGridViews header row ?

I will answer your second question. You can use this code to customize the Headers font and the color:

void DataGridView_CellPainting(object sender, DataGridViewCellPaintingEventArgs e)
        {
            Brush gradientBrush;
            var grd = (DataGridView)sender;

            //header
            if (e.RowIndex == -1)
            {
                gradientBrush = new LinearGradientBrush(...gradientParams..);
                e.CellStyle.Font = new Font(...FontParams...);

            }
        e.Graphics.FillRectangle(gradientBrush, e.CellBounds);
        gradientBrush.Dispose();

        // paint rest of cell
        e.Paint(e.CellBounds, DataGridViewPaintParts.Border | DataGridViewPaintParts.ContentForeground);
        e.Handled = true;
        }
