Debian Jessie scroll bar width of GUI Windows

[tito-t]

in my Debian Jessie the width (thickness) of the scroll bar of all GUI Windows is far too thin, hard to strike with the mouse cursor - how can one make it thicker, perhaps 2x or 3x as thick?

Maybe change your screen resolution in config.txt in your boot directory

[tito-t]

no, the resolution is fine, also the window sizes are fine, just the scroll bars are too thin currently.

Being an older user I found the bars too thin to hit accurately even with a stylus. I found the fix through changing

Code: Select all

sudo nano /home/pi/.themes/PiX/gtk-2.0/gtkrc

Around 20 lines down change the variable 13 in:

GtkRange::slider-width = 13

to something more. 30 is quite big, I have set mine to 20

Then Ctrl X and Y to exit and save.

I also changed

Code: Select all

sudo nano /home/pi/.themes/PiX/gtk-3.0/gtk-contained.css

Around 1000 lines down after Notebooks and Tabs section is a section for Scrollbars. You want to alter

-GtkRange-slider-width: 13;

Again I changed mine to 20.

Then Ctrl X and Y to exit and save. Reboot and enjoy

Hello.
Anyone knows where this file is located on Stretch?
I changed usr/share/themes/gtk2.0/main.rc line "GtkRange::slider-with and worked with shell but the file managers ( perhaps gtk3.0 because look better? ) keep the scrollbar with same small size 13pix

After a pair of reboots mod was applied to every window.
Happy to see that everything is possible in Linux ( I'm a newbie)
