    Hi all,

    Plz take a look at this pic:

    [​IMG]

    Notice on the left screen that Firefox, Terminal and Nemo all have that infuriating narrow, slim scroll/slider-bar.

    On the right screen, notice that Chrome, Geany and LibreOffice have the fat scroll/slider bars that I changed in /usr/share/themes/elementary/gtk-2.0/gtkrc and /usr/share/themes/elementary/gtk-3.0/gtk-widgets.css, respectively.

    On the other Linux OS-es I run (Debian, Ubuntu, MX-15, Peppermint, and many versions of PuppyLinux), whenever I edit the above files, all programs behave and the scroll/slider-bars are properly reflected. But, for some reason, in ElementaryOS Freya, no matter what I do and/or change in the above respective "Themes" files, still some things (programs) are reflected with those razor thin scroll/slider bars that are impossible to quickly grab.

    Could anyone please point me how to remedy this? I do have ElementaryOS Tweaks also installed, and it makes no diffference in the aforementioned problem. Some programs still open with the razor scroll/slider-bar even after changing scrollbar width inside Tweaks.


    Thanks for any help and/or pointers.



    P.S. After I get this solved, I only have one question left, a question that seems again related to the ElementaryOS's window manager and its inability to stop opening many programs up in full screen when you first launch them from either dock on either screen. Mainly it is a concern on Screen 1, as continually opening up a program in as large a screen as possible renders my Screen 1 top line Conky unviewable (see pic above), thereby where I have to click the program's upper right minimize button to bring that program back to a normal size that I want. The window manager seems to remember my preference for some programs opening size and yet forget many others. Why??
