Using Version 0.7.1 Build 734 Compiled Wed Feb 12 18:21:25 2003.

The right hand scroll bar on the browser screen appears to be smaller/thinner than on any of my other WIn98SE applications. In my Windows "control panel" "display properties", I have chosen a scheme that increases the width of my scrollbars to make them easier to work with; but K-Meleon does not seem to respond to these settings.

Scrollbars are rendered by the Mfcembed backend, not K-Meleon, so they don't follow windows sizing. I think that they can be set manually by placing these lines in a file named UserContent.css in a directory named chrome in your K-Meleon profile directory (e.g., C:\Program Files\K-Meleon\profiles\defaults\chrome\UserContent.css):

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul";
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);


scrollbar {
min-width: 20px ! important;
min-height: 20px ! important;
}

scrollbar[orient="vertical"] {
min-width: 20px ! important;
min-height: 20px ! important;
}

scrollbarbutton {
min-width: 20px ! important;
min-height: 20px ! important;
}

html|div scrollbarbutton {
min-width: 20px ! important;
min-height: 20px ! important;
}

html|div scrollbar {
min-width: 20px ! important;
min-height: 20px ! important;
}

html|div scrollbar[orient="vertical"] {
min-width: 20px ! important;
min-height: 20px ! important;
}

I think that will set them, but I'm not sure cause XP forces its sizes when using a theme, even on the Mfcembed window. So let me know if that works!

Oops...

Slight correction:

e.g., C:\Program Files\K-Meleon\profiles\defaults\chrome\UserContent.css

Should have been:

e.g., C:\Program Files\K-Meleon\profiles\defaults\xxxxxxxx.slt\chrome\UserContent.css

I've created a new file with notepad C:\Program Files\K-Meleon\profiles\defaults\xxxxxxxx.slt\chrome\UserContent.css and pasted in the text between the [---snip---] comments but the scroll bar remains small as before

I'm not sure how to fix it, in that case, sorry...mabye someone else knows?

Set this pref:

user_pref("nglayout.widget.gfxscrollbars", true);

to "false".

Ha! And who says K-M isn't easy to configure!

One user pref and your toolbars are whatever size you set from the windows UI...as opposed to all that .css stuff that you have to use for Mozilla...

Be carefully, you will have problems with iframes!

I've changed the parameters in the all.js file in the K-Meleon\defaults\prefs folder and it works. Many thanks. I'm now dumping Opera for K-Meleon

Don't use, but keep it.

Unfortunately there appears to be a new twist to this story. After making the change to the scrollbars (detailed earlier in this thread), there now appears to be a problem with text boxes on webpages.

If I, for example, go to Google Search and type in a search string that is longer than the space available, a large horizontal scroll bar appears within the text box that obscures all the text, so that you can no longer see the text within it. It's not just Google that has this problem, I think it occurs on all text boxes once the string is sufficiently long that it needs to be scrolled sideways.
