A believe nothing has changed since the question was asked last time, i.e., you are on your own and need to use platform-specific code.

However, you may consider using wxWebView (embedded web browser) instead of somewhat limited (HTML-wise) wxHtmlWindow. Still, it seems that scrollbar customization is not as popular as it used to be in the previous decade and these days only webkit based browsers support it via CSS. On the other hand, it may be possible to use a javascript library which provides a customi scrollbar.
