To get any effect on GTK+ widgets used in Emacs (menu bar, toolbar,
scrollbars), you should customize your GTK+ scheme.
For example, the Clearlooks Phenix theme has a very high-contrast
scrollbar out of the box (to the point that I find it distracting and
have to customize it). It is available as an Ubuntu package:
clearlooks-phenix-theme.
