Hello Community,

i’m using the latest KDE and i’m asking myself if I ever find a way to extand the scrollbar width.
Right now I didn’t find a setting or fitting config to make it happen.

Someone here who might give me a hint? :smiley:

Kind regards

Create the file ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css if it doesn’t already exists and paste the following CSS rules in it:
Edit: But since version 4 is already available, use ~/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css, I have just tried it, and it seems to work.


scrollbar, scrollbar button, scrollbar slider {
    min-width: 10px;
    min-height: 10px;
}

The min-width value is for the vertical scrollbar and the min-height value is for the horizontal scrollbar. You can change the values according to your liking.

After saving the file, you have to logout/login in order to see the changes.

Bare in mind that the above CSS rule will change the scrollbars in all Gtk-based applications, not only the two you’re mentioning.

Thanks mate! Works well, I used the cfg in gtk-4.0, set it to 50px

for firefox / cachy browser in “about:config” → “widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override” i set it to 20 - now it’s perfect for me
