bdraws:

Thanks very much for that tutorial!

Unfortunately, your solution did not work for me. However, your tutorial made me do some searching, and I found this post over at the Ubuntu forums that gave me a working solution.

In OS2008, or in LXDE, edit /home/user/.gtkrc-2.0.mine (using leafpad or whatever you want) to have the following:

Code:

style "wide-scrollbars"
{
	GtkRange       ::slider_width      = 25
	GtkRange       ::stepper_size      = 25
}
class "GtkRange"  style "wide-scrollbars"

This changes the scrollbars for all GTK apps in LXDE and in OS2008.

PS: Thanks to another tip elsewhere in these forums, I also have my scrollbars on the left-hand side, because I am a left-hander. This can be accomplished with the following line in the same file:

Code:

gtk-scrolled-window-placement=top-right
