Scroll Bars: Provide option (or bring back) W11 Style Thin/Expanding Scrollbars

Post by JTB3 »

Hi David,
1st off I'd like to wish you a happy holiday countdown!
I noticed in the latest build (v1.5.0.1331a) that thick old-style scrollbars got introduced into Everything 1.5a [see below].

I know this is a 'style' preference, but I really do prefer the W11 modern thin/expanding scrollbars that have been present in all of the earlier versions of Everything 1.5a (v1.5.0.1330a and prior) [see below].

Is it possible to either bring back the native style (W11) scrollbars or at least provide a check-box option to turn them on?
Is there a setting/command already available to make this selection that I'm not aware of?

Thanks for listening and for all of your invaluable work on Everything!

Thank you for your feedback JTB3,

Happy holidays!

To use the native scrollbars:
  • Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
    /scrollbar_dark_theme=2
  • Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
  • If successful, scrollbar_dark_theme=2 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.
  • Close your Everything search window.
  • Reopen your Everything search window.
scrollbar_dark_theme



I'll look into using the native scrollbars when the zoom is set to 100%

Perfect, David - and thanks for your fast reply!    The above command did the trick!
Namaste, -JT 🙏

David,
I just wanted to add, FYI, that I also tried '/scrollbar_dark_theme=0' (Use system theme on Windows 10 or later. Otherwise, use Everything theme. (default)) on my W11 system, and it did not behave as expected - it displays the 'Everything Theme' instead of the native W11 theme. Bug?

Cheers, -JT 🔆

scrollbar_dark_theme=0 will use the Everything theme now.

I have updated the docs.
