@researchfairy I'm grateful that operating systems and WM/DEs still have scroll bars available. I hate not having them in modern OSes.

Thankfully, on most platforms, it's generally painless to enable either through a GUI or the command line. (macOS shown in the screenshots)

But the fact that we've lost out on straightforward, functional visualization for poorly thought minimalism as the default is a major step backwards.

@ktnjared @researchfairy In Gnome, you can turn off disappearing scrollbars in the Accessibility control panel. They stay thin, though, and there's no universal way to fix that.

@carcosa @ktnjared @researchfairy fun thing in new GTK releases though is you often have to do that override PER APP now :/ The gnome/gtk team in it's long running war against it's own users is phasing out a lot of global settings and scrollbars is one of the casualties :/
