Ermahgerd, BRING THEM BACK, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND PURE!
I'm so sick of aiming for thin little strips of depressing grayness.
Joel de Bruijn@RL_Dane @jasonmashak knowing if you just warp your mouse pointer to the outer right ... you miss the 2022 scrollbar by one pixel and it flashes briefly because without hoovering exactly there, it disappears again ... leaving you micro-adjusting the mouse and thinking about the elder scrolls when you could just throw your mouse and it worked.
I use a slightly garish MacOS X Leopard gtk theme JUST BECAUSE it has usable scrollbars.
Doesn't help much with Firefox, though.
And who's bloody genius idea was it to HIDE the bloody things when you're not using them? I'd like to know where I am in my document, thank you, arsehole gormless dandy zoomer UI designers.
trissc̈hen (old account)@RL_Dane @joeldebruijn @jasonmashak I’m so often scrolling a tiny bit just to see roughly how far I am into a text/thread …

Yeah, same. It's so dumb that we've developed these habits to compensate for some idiot Apple designer's monomania.
I'm NOT usually this crabby, this topic just really gets under my skin.
I've used amazing GUIs for literally thirty years only to have to put up with idiotic shallow-aesthetics-enslaved design everywhere I turn *now* 😓

"Users hate complexity, so lets hide all controls only to appear when your mouse encounters them."
Fast forward helping a collegue to operate the interface:
- "just click the button with 3 dots to see more options"
- "there is no such button!"
- "No just hoover the entire right upper corner untill it appears!"

#Descartes was right. An evil genius truly in charge of the universe, and is using it to torture us.
