@schratze truly the best scrollbar.

@schratze f*** flat design - I have always hated it.

@schratze from an accessibility point of view, this one is better than the hidden and extremely thin ones we are getting nowadays

@schratze This looks so ridiculously chunky now. Goddam.

@schratze Even the Motif scrollbar was an improvement on the abomination that graces our desktops today.

@schratze looking for scrollbars and only finding removal addons is like websearching your favorite bug and only getting exterminators

@schratze I didn't find a way to get one like that, but at least I have *a* scrollbar now C:

@schratze I LOVE THE WINDOWS XP SCROLLBAR

@navi it's so good

@schratze Nah, way too detailed, light colors, wide, and takes up fixed space to show a scroll bar. This sort of thing is better left in the past where desktop computers were adopting innovations such as scroll wheels.

@tofu I really hate having useful things on my screen. I also don't like having multiple ways to do things. Also hate when the useful stuff on the screen is visible

@schratze I have basically no tollerance for wasted screen space and pointless chrome, which these scrollbars became once convienient ways of scrolling became commonplace.

@tofu okay

@tofu @schratze I don't like the visual aspects of it either but hidden scrollbars are inconvenient as fuck and an accessibility nightmare

I'm a UX designer who likes flat design, by the way

@schratze good design. Big enough to click on even for mouse challenged people.

Doesn't hide or disappear just when you're about to click it.

Has better contrast than many contemporary designs.

Has dedicated up down buttons for fine control.

Man... we really lost a lot. And for what? For some guy's idea of "thin dark grey on darker grey scroll bars look cooooool - especially when they auto hide after 0.1 sec" (good luck remembering there was a scroll bar that you could actually use...)

@kwramm @schratze remembering the other great use of the scrollbar - quick sign of "how long is the page going to be?"

@kwramm @schratze

On Windows 11  

Settings > Accessibility > Visual Effects > Always show scrollbars

@TeflonTrout @schratze yep, I have this on. But the fact that this isn’t the default and “hide scroll bars”, for some strange reason (cool looks > usability?), is, shows the sad state of affairs
