freakin brilliant. Why don't ALL the IT themes have this scroll bar?

Big debate over wide scroll bars. Some of it is captured in a maemo bug (I forget the number offhand). Maemo direction appears to be more toward alternative methods.

With finger-friendly, you could still use the stylus, just pushing on bigger buttons. With stylus it's a frustrating nightmare to try to use your finger.

I've been using the wider scrollbar for a few weeks and was justing thinking yesterday how I couldn't do without it -- it's made several programs so much more usable.

Just edit /usr/share/themes/{yourtheme}/gtk-2.0/gtkrc file (as root) and find out these lines:
Replace the 26 with 38 and 22 with 42.
EDIT: On some themes, this may result in duplicate scrollbars
. Thats not very nice...
Heres my diff that I took from regular 14pt echo theme and wide scrollbar version (the above numeric changes were there as well):
14pt echo: style "hildon-im-thumb-scv-font"
Wide scrollbar: style "hildon-im-thumb-scv" = "osso-logical-colors"
14pt echo: widget "*osso-im-scv-renderer" style "hildon-im-thumb-scv-fon
Wide scrollbar: widget "*osso-im-scv-renderer" style "hildon-im-thumb-scv"
So just use the wide scrollbar thingies if you get the duplicate scrollbars, I guess.

Well, ah.sima's work (in the other thread he linked) precedes mine, and he actually played with images to make something useful,then even packaged it; my snippet, on the other hand, was just a snarky way of pointing people up off their butts in the right direction. I don't think it's 'modest' not to toot my own horn about that.
