Yes, that does help. It gives me some starting points to experiment.

From QFusionStyle drawing of e.g. QStyle::SC_ScrollBarAddLine I’d think
that that uses QPalette::Button as the base color.
Qt Creator’s themes (can?) set that, e.g.
share/qtcreator/themes/dark.creatortheme sets
PaletteButton=shadowBackground
(where “shadowBackground” is set to “ff232323” near the top of the file).
There are also the flags DerivePaletteFromTheme and
ApplyThemePaletteGlobally which influence if and how the palette in the theme
is actually applied, not sure what does what exactly.
The default theme, flat.creatortheme doesn’t seem to set the application
palette, which probably means that it uses whatever Qt sets as the palette for
Qt applications. (Which is why it might make a difference against which Qt you
compile Qt Creator in that case, I suppose).
I hope that gives you some useful pointers :)

I get an assist and point be to where the Styles/Themes are either loaded or
applied? Or the name of the subclass that scroll handles/widgets are? I just
have a hard time believing that I have to completely change linux distributions
or window managers just to get a different color scroll handles. We change the
colors on our own application and those changes are reflected in the
application. QtCreator does it because when you change themes, you get
different scroll handle colors. I just trying to track down which setting in
the theme file actually effects those colors. Thank you to anyone that could
help my old eyes out.

following key:value in the theme file”. I guess I have to load up an entirely
new desktop environment. Seems a bit over-kill but since Linux is not my full
time desktop I guess this is the norm?
