I think you also need user_pref("widget.gtk.overlay-scrollbars.enabled", false); and this is also nice user_pref("widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override", 20); > From what I read it's a problem with GTK2/3. > > PS: no I won't write a theme ^^ > But I may check how to edit one. You know how ? I think vim is really nice :) But that's probably not what you want to know, so what I did was to start with the release tarball from https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95 unpack it into my home directory and mv ~/Templates/Chicago95-2.0.1/Theme/Chicago95/gtk-2.0 /usr/share/themes/Chicago95/ mv ~/Templates/Chicago95-2.0.1/Theme/Chicago95/gtk-3.0 /usr/share/themes/Chicago95/ >From there I can select the Chicago95 theme as any user and if there's anything I don't like I can, once I figure out wtf needs to be changed (which can be a non-trivial task for me), make the change.
