To me this is a nice contrast which makes it easier to distinguish the 
buttons from the rest of the buttons.
The 3rd button is redundant imo and makes the scrollbar look more
complicated than necessary.

Sorry to tell you but the only thing that won't look in any way different from
windows are your childish-fat-looking arrows. If you would
replace these arrows with the original ones and if you would ask your ma, 
your dad or any one who hasn't followed this discussion where they saw these 
arrow-buttons and scrollbars the last time they won't say BeOS -- They 
will say Windows!
 
I know that you changed quite a lot of pixel here and there -- but this will
neither make an original look nor is it consistent 
with the rest of the widgets nor will it look different to most people.

The clearest Widget with no decorations at all which shows the best 
contrast is --- tadaaa! Windows (and don't badmouth me that I would
have said "I want windows to be the default!", please).
