[Solved]Mint 19.2 scrollbar width adjust

[rjsrjs]

Hello everyone.
I have linux mint mate 19.2 on Virtual Box trying it out. I currently have Linux Mint Mate 19.1 on my Laptop SSD. I can't see much difference between the two, both running well.
I can't seem to find where I can change the scrollbar width adjustment in 19.2. They tell me on a couple sites but I think those are for Cinnamon Desktops because I don't have the same things in my Mate menu like preferences>Themes etc. I don't know if Mate is different or not. Does anyone know why I can't find scrollbar width adjustment in Mint 19.2 Mate? I am running copmiz on my 19.1 mate on my laptop SSD not in 19.2 on Virtual Box, maybe that's why, I don't know.
Thanks.

As an example you can go to the Control Center>Appearances>Custom>and for Controls, choose High Contrast. It has wider scrollbar There is a way to edit the one you are using. Some Mate guru might post. You can get other Themes online, that might suit you.

I can't seem to find where I can change the scrollbar width adjustment in 19.2.

The GUI option to override the theme's scrollbar width is a Cinnamon feature.

You can achieve the same effect in MATE this way

Create / open your gtk.css override file

Code: Select all

xed ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

In the text editor window add these lines. Save, log out and log back on. Test. If necessary reopen the file and adjust the 12pt to suit your preferences.

Code: Select all

/* Scrollbar Width */
scrollbar.vertical slider,
scrollbar.slider.vertical {
    min-width: 12pt;
}
scrollbar.horizontal slider,
scrollbar.slider.horizontal {
    min-height: 12pt;
}
