[Bug 1053302] Re: ubuntu-overlay-scrollbars set to false shows no arrows in several cases

 

fyi: http://askubuntu.com/questions/34214/how-do-i-disable-overlay-
scrollbars

Just disabling or removing the overlay-scrollbars as described by the
other answers will get you back the scroll bars, but they will be
missing the stepper buttons at the end of the bars because they have
been disabled in the Ambiance theme. To re-enable them, put the
following in the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file:

style "default" {
  engine "murrine" {
    stepperstyle = 0
  }
}

and the following into the file ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css:

.scrollbar {
  -GtkScrollbar-has-backward-stepper: 1;
  -GtkScrollbar-has-forward-stepper: 1;
}

Usually, restarting the applications is enough for the changes to apply.
	
To make the stepper buttons better-looking, add this to .scrollbar: -GtkRange-slider-width: 16; -GtkRange-stepper-size: 17; –  Håkon A. Hjortland Aug 21 '12 at 7:56

Title:
  ubuntu-overlay-scrollbars set to false shows no arrows in several
  cases

Status in overlay-scrollbar package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm running 12.04, and prefer the more conservative style "normal" scrollbars over the overlay scrollbars. I have set them to false in the terminal:
  gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface ubuntu-overlay-scrollbars false

  However after doing so, with some apps (e.g. Nautilus, Document Viewer) my scrollbars only view a vertical bar, but no arrows on the top and bottom to scroll up and down (please find the screenshot attached for the bottom part).
  With some programs these are shown though, for instance Gummi and Texmaker.

  It would make a big difference (for instance when having to scroll pdf
  documents containing several hundreds of pages) to have those arrows
  reinstated. Moreover, it is more aestetic and adds to the pleasant
  working experience Unity is.
