Scrollbar

Hello,

in the scrollbar the arrow buttons are missing. How can I change the configuration to show the buttons?

regards

Re: Scrollbar

Hello and welcome.

We'll need more information. Specifically:
- which distro are you using?
- which version of Xfce?
- which Appearance (GTK) theme are you using?

The scrollbar steppers are enabled/disabled by the theme and can also be overridden.

Re: Scrollbar

Add the following to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css (create the file if it doesn't exist):

scrollbar {
  -GtkScrollbar-has-backward-stepper: true;
  -GtkScrollbar-has-forward-stepper: true;
  }
scrollbar button {padding: 0}

You may need to logout and back in again for all apps to notice it. It will be system-wide (mostly).
