@tychotithonus ARGH I have a trackball WITH a scroll wheel (Logitech M575!) and I STILL want scrollbars. Complete scrollbars WITH the arrow widgets that I can click on.

"Grandma" is being totally reasonable in her expectations and that answer is rubbish.

Agreed. I just "updated" to Windows 11 (I didn't want to) and one of the (many) things I hate about it is the disappearing scroll-bar arrow! So, Microsoft, to make the invisible arrow appear, you have to hover over it, so you have to find the right spot to hover over something that you can't see... unless you find the right spot when the arrow is invisible. Didn't think that through did you...

@SmartmanApps @yakkoj @tychotithonus Look in Settings → Accessibility → Visual effects → Always show scrollbars (wording might be slightly different, I don't have English Windows here, so I'm translating back). This'll make the scrollbars always visible.

Huh - I don't see this option in my ChromeOS settings - I also searched for 'scroll', 'scrollback', 'scrolling', 'page', etc.

@tychotithonus @SmartmanApps @yakkoj Sorry, this was for Windows only. I never used ChromeOS, so no idea if it supports this.

Ah, yeah. The original forum post was about ChromeOS specifically. :D
