Description Alfie 2023-10-27 18:44:22 UTC
Description:
LibreOffice version 7.6.2.1
The slider on the right-hand side is too narrow when in use.
This may seem trivial to you, but there are thousands of users in the same boat. This is an ever present aggravation for me and anyone with visual and hand function reduction. When activated by the mouse, it should be double the width.
Adjusting the Mouse pointer options (size and type) also should be included in the LibreOffice main settings. When not in use, it is almost hidden, that is OK. So What the hell is the problem??
To compound the aggravation, the individual up/down control arrows on the top and bottom of the side slider were removed. Put it back. That should be default.

I agree that the current trend of making scrollbars nearly invisible is unfortunate. However, the style is coming from your system (desktop environment).

Another unfortunate thing is that it can be very difficult to customise the appearance of scrollbars. You don't mention, if you use gtk3 (typically Gnome) or kf5 (KDE). You can find many threads online about this. For example, see one recent tip in a comment here: https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/152equt/change_scrollbar_width_gnome_434_adwaita/
