Opera supports styling the scroll bars, but the user can disable it.

I have some sympathy for authors wishing to change the appearance of
scroll bars inside the viewport. The usual mantra that users won't be
able to recognize them as scroll bars has only limited merit.

Of course, in-document scroll bars are typically a usability nightmare,
but that's another discussion.
