[SOLVED] Increase width of scroll bars ?

Hi,

How to increase the size/width of all the scroll bars in zorin ? it's really tiny to click on, very annoying for me. It's like 5-7 pixels wide o_0
I tried to do it with mozilla http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... &sk=t&sd=a
I think i'd find how on windows 7 but not in zorin (i'm lost in linux), I don't know where to find the CSS file.

And how to apply this to all the zorin windows ?

You could try this:

and take a look here:

Keep us posted and let us know what you did!

I'm sorry I don't get it.
I could try and finally find a solution but it will take me 2 hours I bet. I'm used to solve solutions without understanding anything at first xD but since you're so so so helpful I'd prefer not to spend all that time on this !

I tried to find gtkrc, I found many of them so I guess it's a config file for each GUI's program. I even found one for the theme I use but all those variables, I'm a bit lost.

So I checked the other message
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-lis ... 00108.html

but i didnt understand what it is about and where I should change the bar width if I made those two config files (in gedit I guess but I don't even know where I'd put it etc...)


I also checked in /usr/share/themes/ZorinLight and didn't find a gtk-bars.css


Can you help me a little bit more ? (sorry or else is there a tool to tweak it ? I'm lost with all those gnome, xfce, kde etc... lol)

also I tried this before http://www.vdomck.org/2007/07/change-sc ... refox.html for firefox

But it failed (not same directory and even when trying to put it in, it doesn't do anything)

Somewhere I read that someone had success with this using the Firefox add-on NewScrollbars, (aka NoiaScrollbars).

I have the same problem Totolanio.

Just tried that too - nada! Sorry Totolanio, at a bit of a loss here!

Found it!

Code:

sudo apt-get install gnome-color-chooser

[Gives 60 blue jewels to self! ]

It gets placed inside of 'Preferences' in Menu and after changing panels to 32 pixels:

Firefox not uploading screenshot - sorry guys - will do when I get Opera 12.16 back installed!

With thanks to Apanta who solved it himself!

Thank you. Gnome-color-chooser worked. The scroll width was under the specific tab.

Correct! Will mark as [SOLVED]!

I already tried it (in zorin lite) and It did NOTHING.

I tried again and I don't understand how to use it

I've put the scrollbars width to 32, profile = none
I applied

But nothing happens. Even if I reload mozilla. I really don't understand what this program does, I thought it was incompatible the first time I used it. I'm on Zorin Os 8 64 bits.

But nothing happens.

Hi Totolanio, sadly I don't think it will work with Lite. I will do a quick video tutorial and post back the link!

In the meantime, this should sort your Lite out - Lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE!

Here is the vimeo link - hope it has uploaded and visible!

Where do you set the panel to 32 pixels? i only see icons...

Open GNOME Color Chooser and then select the 'specific' tab - halfway down the interface that opens is the section marked 'Scrollbars' - it is set to 15 by default and greyed out - to activate, checkmark the box - then to increase the size, go in the box and use your up or down arrows - maximum width is 50 pixels.

Is my video too blurry?

omfg ! it works lol
I've done the same exact process (on zorin 8) and it didn't work, why ?

Because I had to refresh the page and it changed the size of the button, weird for me because I thought refreshing would only refresh the content of the page, not the UI !

Ah so nice !!! very large bar makes my day now


I'll check for zorin lite or for LXDE later

ty once more

btw it doesn't increase the scrollbars inside nautilus, the file explorer

Hi Totolanio, got the same issue here but not too much of a problem for me personally. Just had a quick look / browse but not solutions for that aspect I'm afraid!
