Bug ID: 458037 Summary: Accessibility issue: Unable to change the thickness of scrollbars in Plasma / KDE Product: systemsettings Version: 5.24.4 Platform: unspecified OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: major Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org Reporter: r...@jilocasin.net Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Unlike other DEs, or even GTK+ applications running under KDE, it is currently impossible to set a global scrollbar width or configure scrollbar steppers. This becomes an accessibility issue, especially for folks who, for whatever reason, lack fine motor control or less than perfect vision. * Reconfiguring scaling is not a solution, as that causes all elements to scale. * Using a mouse wheel is also not a solution, as not everyone is using a mouse with a scroll wheel, or even a mouse. * Switching application styles is not a solution, since most/all styles have opted for thin or even hidden scrollbars. Additionally, changing application style changes more than just scrollbars and may end up introducing new incompatibilities. As more and more applications have switched from provided application specific scrollbar control to using the setting from the OS, the lack of this functionality has become more apparent and critical. Previously this was reported in bugs such as [bug 440749](https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440749) which was marked as CLOSED/FIXED. The bug may have been closed, but the issue has definitely not been fixed. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. see that the scrollbar is too thin to be used in a KDE application. 2. search for a way to make it thicker 3. realize that you are just out of luck. OBSERVED RESULT Scrollbars remain too thin to be used EXPECTED RESULT Scrollbars are thick enough to be used, or have a simple setting to allow the user to adjust the thickness, and ideally stepper, of scrollbars.
