Change scrollbar thickness globally in XFCE

[valtam]

This will cover many applications, but not all.

1. Open your home folder.

2. Press Ctrl + H (to show hidden files)\

3. Open the .gtkrc-2.0 file, add the following to a new line starting at the bottom of the file:

Code:

style "myscrollbar"
{
     GtkScrollbar::slider-width=XX
}
class "GtkScrollbar" style "myscrollbar"

Example of entire .gtkrc-2.0 file:

Code:

gtk-menu-popdown-delay = 0
gtk-menu-bar-popup-delay = 0
gtk-enable-animations = 0
gtk-timeout-expand = 0

style "myscrollbar"
{
     GtkScrollbar::slider-width=25
}
class "GtkScrollbar" style "myscrollbar"

Change '25' to a thickness you prefer.

4. Logout/in again to complete.
