Title: Change scrollbar thickness globally in XFCE
Post by: Jerry on December 30, 2016, 04:17:29 AM
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: [Select]
style "myscrollbar"
{
     GtkScrollbar::slider-width=XX
}
class "GtkScrollbar" style "myscrollbar"

Example of entire .gtkrc-2.0 file:

Code: [Select]
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.

I tried this on LLOS 5 and it does not seem to work.  I tried 40, 80 and 150 and saw no difference in file windows or Firefox.  I know that this is an older article, is there something new that would do this?

Thanks

I found something else on the internet that seems to be working.  Thanks for reading.

I take it this only works for XFCE apps? I noticed that the file browser, the scrollbar looks the same, but gets fatter when I hover over it. Changing UI elements are bad no?
