galculator scrollbar issue

jt1122 · 2022-05-07 12:37:29

Hi,

When galculator is in "paper mode" and there multiple lines a scroll bar appears on the right.
However it has an auto-hide/auto-appear annoying behaviour and it hides the results on the rhs, which is kind of silly.

Is there a way to disable this auto-hide behaviour or shift it to the left?.

Thanks

Is there a way to disable this auto-hide behaviour

There are two approaches to disabling overlay scrollbars.

If its just for galculator, then run galculator like this:

GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING=0 galculator

If you want to disable overlay scrolling for all GTK3 apps, add:

gtk-overlay-scrolling = false

...to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini. Note, if you don't have an existing settings.ini file you will need to create one. It needs to start with a "[Settings]" line, so something like:

[Settings]
gtk-overlay-scrolling = false

shift it to the left

As far as I know, there is no way to move the position of the scrollbar in a scrolledwindow unless you change the code.

great, thanks.

Is there a way to disable the bars just ofr galculator in the settings.ini file?.

Should that be in gtk-3 or gtk-4 (as with mousepad)?

Cheers

The settings.ini file will apply to all GTK3 apps. And unfortunately, galculator does not publish any app-specific style classes so that you can direct CSS overrides against. The only way to disable them would be with an option or setting in galculator - which doesn't exist.
