I am trying to give make a “module” in the theme I’m using (Beaver Builder) a fixed height and make it scroll because it’s content will be longer than the height of the module.

Their theme support says:

Then you will want to give it a custom class and style that class to have a fixed height and also use the CSS property “overflow” (without quotes) and use the “scroll” value (without quotes).

Can I do this in MT?

Hi Robert, yes you can do this in Microthemer. The height property can be found in the Dimensions property group. And the overflow property can be found in the Behaviour property group.

Cheers,
Sebastian

What about the “scroll” setting they mentioned?

scroll is the value you can select from the overflow property dropdown menu.

Very nice. I got it perfect.

Now, is there a way to style the scroll bar itself, so it’s not that standard 1995 windows grey? lol

Unfortunately you can’t customise native browser scrollbars with CSS. Do do that you would need to get your hands dirty with JaveScript using a solution like this one: http://manos.malihu.gr/jquery-custom-content-scroller/
