Hello, hello!

Quick question/suggestion. The scrollbars in the browser, can they be hidden? Especially in full screen mode? I'm unaware of the config file to change, and there is no simple option in the menu.

If this is not possible currently, I think we need to rig something

Any ideas?

I don't know about rigging it up 'ourselves,' but a number of us have been begging for it to be a feature of the OS. Look here and then read into next page where Texrat talks about it as a bug report, to which you can add your name.

I don't want transparent ones I'd just like them gone, no need for them.

From a UI perspective, there is a need for something that indicates that one can scroll. Are you just making the recommendation that the scroll bars go, but teh arrow markers stay; or that the who thing be done away with?

On a similar note... is there a way to make the scrollbars a bit wider/taller? Sometimes I have a hard time using the stylus to grab ahold of the tiny scrollbars.

I just want them gone completely. But, for future reference, I think maybe we should have a lighting effect on the edges where the page can be scrolled.

Very subtle, but easy to see.

But for now, I'd just like those ugly things gone.

Take a look through this thread: glasserwb - theme with wide scroll bar.

I'd love to be able to change them to the scrollbar style which i seem to remember seeing in Fennec, which was semi-iphone-like, just a VERY thin grey-translucent rounded scrollbar.

I can't check that it's present in Fennec 'cause Fennec refuses to display anything when I open it on my N810. I'm thinking I broke some shared library when I apt-get upgraded.

If you like the default theme --echo-- you can try echowb. It works perfectly.

totally hide the scrollbars in browser:
create a file: /home/user/.mozilla/microb/chrome/userContent.css
with this content:
Code:
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
html {
overflow-y: hidden; overflow-x: hidden;
}
