jQuery ClassyScroll can be used not only as replacement of native browser scrollbars, but you can use it even to create slideshows with external controls.
Among other features ClassyScroll can auto adjust scrollbars on window resize and recognize touch events on Android and iOS devices, so it’s perfect for responsive sites that have to dynamically adapt to different environments and devices.
