ScrollView bar Custom Renderer Color

Question

Trying to change the color of the ScrollView bar. I found this link here but I would prefer to write a custom renderer as I have with all my other controls:

Color of ScrollBar in ScrollView

The problem is, I can't find any property/method that has any effect on the bar color. Here is my attempt so far:

public class CustomScrollRenderer : ScrollViewRenderer
    {
        public CustomScrollRenderer(Context context) : base(context)
        {
        }

        protected override void OnElementChanged(VisualElementChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnElementChanged(e);

            this.ScrollBarSize = 50;
            this.ScrollBarDefaultDelayBeforeFade = 60000;
            
            this.SetBackgroundColor(Android.Graphics.Color.Red);
            this.SetOutlineAmbientShadowColor(Android.Graphics.Color.Red);
            this.SetOutlineSpotShadowColor(Android.Graphics.Color.Red);
            }
    }

In iOS , youneed to create a subclass of UIScrollView and rewrite the method LayoutSubviews

using Foundation;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using UIKit;

using App1;
using App1.iOS;
using Xamarin.Forms;
using Xamarin.Forms.Platform.iOS;
using ObjCRuntime;

[assembly:ExportRenderer(typeof(ScrollView),typeof(MyScrollViewRenderer))]
namespace App1.iOS
{
    public class MyScrollViewRenderer: ViewRenderer<ScrollView, UIScrollView>
    {
        protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<ScrollView> e)
        {
            base.OnElementChanged(e);

            if(Control!=null)
            {
                SetNativeControl(new MyScrollView());
            }

        }
    }


    public class MyScrollView : UIScrollView
    {

        
        public override void LayoutSubviews()
        {

            foreach (UIView view in Subviews)
            {
                if (view.IsKindOfClass(new Class("UIImageView")))
                {
                    view.BackgroundColor = UIColor.Red;
                }
            }

            base.LayoutSubviews();
        }
    }
}

In Android

Create the scrollbar_style in Resource -> drawable

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

  <gradient
      android:angle="45"
      android:centerColor="@color/blue"
      android:endColor="@color/blue"
      android:startColor="@color/blue" />

  <corners android:radius="8dp" />
</shape>

using Android.App;
using Android.Content;
using Android.Graphics.Drawables;
using Android.Graphics.Drawables.Shapes;
using Android.OS;
using Android.Runtime;
using Android.Views;
using Android.Widget;
using App1.Droid;
using Java.Lang.Reflect;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Xamarin.Forms;
using Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android;
using static Android.Icu.Text.DateFormat;
using Field = Java.Lang.Reflect.Field;

[assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(Xamarin.Forms.ScrollView), typeof(MyScrollViewRenderer))]
namespace App1.Droid
{
    class MyScrollViewRenderer : ScrollViewRenderer
    {
        public MyScrollViewRenderer(Context context) : base(context)
        {
        }

        protected override void OnElementChanged(VisualElementChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnElementChanged(e);

            Field mScrollCacheField = Java.Lang.Class.FromType(typeof(Android.Views.View)).GetDeclaredField("mScrollCache");
            mScrollCacheField.Accessible = true;
            Java.Lang.Object mScrollCache = mScrollCacheField.Get(this); // scr is your Scroll View

            Field scrollBarField = mScrollCache.Class.GetDeclaredField("scrollBar");
            scrollBarField.Accessible = true;
            Java.Lang.Object scrollBar = scrollBarField.Get((Java.Lang.Object)mScrollCache);



            Method method = scrollBar.Class.GetDeclaredMethod("setVerticalThumbDrawable", Java.Lang.Class.FromType(typeof(Drawable)));
            method.Accessible = true;



            // Set your drawable here.
            method.Invoke(scrollBar, Resources.GetDrawable(Resource.Drawable.scrollbar_style));

        }

    }
