Change scrollbar thickness globally in XFCE - Valtam - 12-30-2016

This will cover many applications, but not all.

1. Open your home folder.

2. Press Ctrl + H (to show hidden files)\

3. Open the .gtkrc-2.0 file, add the following to a new line starting at the bottom of the file:

Code:
style "myscrollbar"

{

     GtkScrollbar::slider-width=XX

}

class "GtkScrollbar" style "myscrollbar"

Example of entire .gtkrc-2.0 file:

Code:
gtk-menu-popdown-delay = 0

gtk-menu-bar-popup-delay = 0

gtk-enable-animations = 0

gtk-timeout-expand = 0

style "myscrollbar"

{

     GtkScrollbar::slider-width=25

}

class "GtkScrollbar" style "myscrollbar"

Change '25' to a thickness you prefer.

4. Logout/in again to complete.

I tried this on LLOS 5 and it does not seem to work. I tried 40, 80 and 150 and saw no difference in file windows or Firefox. I know that this is an older article, is there something new that would do this?

Thanks

I found something else on the internet that seems to be working. Thanks for reading.

I take it this only works for XFCE apps? I noticed that the file browser, the scrollbar looks the same, but gets fatter when I hover over it. Changing UI elements are bad no?
