I *really* dislike the new photon UI. I WANT the arrow buttons top and bottom of the scrollbars.
Does anyone know how to bring them back, or is that "that's *sooo* last year, you can't ever have them again"?
Assuming you are talking about GTK-based applications (and I think Mozilla apps are that), then edit this file. On my Fedora 29 system:
===> ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css Add these lines:
.scrollbar, scrollbar { -GtkScrollbar-has-backward-stepper: true; -GtkScrollbar-has-forward-stepper: true; }
Thank you. I found that online, after I posted, *but* it did *not* have the ,scrollbar. It also had 1 instead of true, so I changed that, just on general principles, and it works. Btw, what I found online also had -GtkRange-slider-width: 15; -GtkRange-stepper-size: 15;
Restart the apps and the arrows should appear. They are small! I suspect more editing of the .css file can make them larger, but I have not managed to find the exact entry.
There is also a way to keep the scroll bars from disappearing when you mouse away from them.
===> /etc/environment Add this line:
GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING=0
You have to logout/login to make this take effect.
Mine don't seem to have that issue <crosses fingers>
And last - If slider warping really bothers you (it does me!), you can change it with this edit:
===> ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=0
With this setting, clicking the the scroll bar above or below the handle moves one page instead of warping to the relative position in the document.
Thanks for that one, Bill. It bothers me as well. Interestingly enough, I have eight terminals up - they're urxvt, which I prefer, and their scrollbars and buttons never changed.
