Hi all,

is there a way to figure out how wide / heigh a scrollbar needs to be under 
Linux to draw all of the scrollbar, but not leaving you with empty space around 
it? Can this be figured out by script? It appears that under UBUNTU this would 
be 14 Pixels. Is there a difference between Windowmanagers?

Thanks in advance,

Under KDE, scrollbar width is a user settable property. I don't know what default is, I have it set to something narrower because, well, I like it. I'm not sure that you can reliably determine this. It would depend on your ability to determine the DE of the current session which is available as a LiveCode global under some distros but not others, and then grab the setting from a config file, if the distro/DE make it available and you know where it is. I don't know what to say about height.

Why are you finding this desirable? Do you have some consistent display issue you're trying to resolve one some particular distro? Are you sure you want to be setting this in the face of what might be a (different) user preference?
