scroll arrows

[deretsigernu]

I thought I could get used to it, but I can't. Where are the vertical scroll arrows? I know that's probably considered a "feature", like not being able to resize some window s, but it's not. The lack is annoying.

It's the default Gnome theme, Adwaita, it doesn't have them. Try switching to a different theme...if available, because I don't know if there is any.

Waits for someone like Dan to come along and recommend not using Gnome 3.

ADWAAAAAIIIIIITTTTAAAAA! How I dislike you, Adwaita.

Oh, you're talking about Gnome...I wouldn't know.

Adwaita theme would swallow scroll arrows in XFCE as well - GTK theme after all.

I don't understand this thread.

I am running f18 with current updates, gnome 3 and
all my windows have scroll arrows?
I never changed the theme either!

[Ihatewindows]

Well you must be very special.

Perhaps you are referring to scroll bars instead of scroll arrows? May be?

Hi,

It seems that Gnome3 has decided scroll buttons on the scroll bar are not necessary.

This is causing me a lot of issues using Evolution in particular. If I grab the scroll bar itself - it is very hard to controll how much scrolls. If I use the up and down arrows, it doesn't scroll through the mailbox but instead selects previous and next message.

Use to be I could just click on the arrows and it would scroll a reasonable amount, But that functionallity appears to be gone. Several other things I thought were gone had a non-intuitive (at least to me) way of doing things, like double clicking on top of window to maximize or de-maximize.

What is the secret way of scrolling a window just a little at a time in Gnome 3?

Oh - Fedora 18

My Fedora 17 still has arrow buttons ;-)

Try to move your finger up and down on the right side of the touchpad.

woops sorry yes I have scroll bars not the extra arrows

Touchpad is disabled becase I always bump it accidentally with my wrist and I prefer to use the eraser head (Thinkpad) anyway.

If I want to change from Gnome to KDE, do I have to reinstall? I'm not a complete newb, I've used linux for a a few years, but never seriously and I don't know the ins and outs of it. Would it be a very involved process if it's not a complete install? I've used a few distro's in the past (Red Hat, OpenSuSe, Ubuntu, FC) and always stuck with default desktop, so I have no idea what changing desktops entails.

Changing DE is very easy. All you need to do is to install a DE. For example, if you want to install KDE, simply do

 yum groups install KDE Plasma Workspaces

Just logout and choose the DE when you login again.

Hope that helps.

P. S. It would usually be helpful to start a new thread instead of posting in an already existing thread.

Save or add this to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

*{

-GtkScrollbar-has-backward-stepper: 1;
-GtkScrollbar-has-forward-stepper: 1;

}

You'll probably need to log out and back in for it to take effect.

That works. I did not need to log out, just needed to restart apps for it to take effect.
