Nearly a year later, I find myself going back to this post and adding its settings to get a sane #scrollbar on #Firefox.

It's annoying that despite Mozilla dropping Motif for GTK+ in their browser back when they open-sourced their browser, they still didn't consider maybe using the native UI widgets that GTK+ provided?

My chosen GTK+ emulates a nice retro OS/2 theme, which is actually rather quite usable on a #tablet #touchscreen. It's not the classical Motif UI of historical Unix, but it's usable. Another good choice would be the classic MacOS UI… or maybe 90s era Windows. Make those a little beefier on a touchscreen and you'd have quite a usable UI for both desktops and touchscreens.

But… Firefox and Chromium UI devs know better apparently.

I use Windows 11 at work and it's a mess. One thing I abhor is the constantly hidden scrollbars for the sake of 'minimalism', especially as in some software you now have to jump through hoops to see the bar for a moment! Time to learn Linux.

The 2025 20-25 Challenge.

This year let’s get better at something by finding a little practice time most days, in my case drawing. - Do your activity for at least 25 minutes, at least 25 days per month.
- Use the hashtag #20252025Challenge on social media etc to track your progress
- Also use the hashtag to cheer on others.

That’s about it!

Have fun with your activities, whatever they may be!

Keep this in mind when changing scrollbar colors | Angelika.me

TL;DR: always choose a scrollbar thumb color that makes it visible both against the container background and the scrollbar track.

What's with browser updates these days making the #scrollbar hard to grab?

Here's a suggestion: #VSCode shows the current open document in micro on the right edge. It's at least 5-6 times as wide as a conventional scroll bar and you can see where that one part of the document you need is.

Some browser should do this. (Hint hint, @mozilla. #firefox)

Some tweaks for #Firefox on a Linux tablet.

1. in General preferences under Browsing, tick "Always show scrollbar" to end the game of peek-a-boo.
2. In about:config, search for scrollbar.size and set it to some number between 20 and 60 (to taste)

Now you have a #scrollbar you can get a digit on!
