this is what I did (gtk-2.0). First I changed the width from 10 to 5.
Then I did similar to bacon
Code: Select all
style "murrine-scrollbar" {
bg[NORMAL] = shade (0.60, @selected_bg_color)
bg[PRELIGHT] = shade (0.70, @selected_bg_color)
bg[ACTIVE] = shade (0.80, @selected_bg_color)
}
Looks like this

If you guys want me to make those fixes and repackage, let me know. Pretty simple to hack up yourself though :)

^ I think it is easy enough to change it on individual basis, because for sure the next person will ask how to make them invisible again ;)

@dkeg, thanks for the help. I made the suggested changes, but for some reason the unselected scrollbar still appears as black on black, to me. When I select it, it changes to brown, and it did that before making any changes. But it's awfully hard to select it when I can't see it.
I even tried lower ratios: .21, .31, and .80 (like the Numix-2.0 theme), but it still looks black on black. I am very confused.

Depends in which application you are, maybe? If the app is a gtk3 application ... see above, you need gtk-3.0/gtk*.css to be edited.

note that I not only changed the shade value, but also the color variable from @bg_color, to @selected_bg_color. So the before was this
Code: Select all
style "murrine-scrollbar" {
bg[NORMAL] = shade (0.90, @bg_color)
bg[PRELIGHT] = shade (0.90, @bg_color)
bg[ACTIVE] = @selected_bg_color
}
and the new is (replay from above
Code: Select all
style "murrine-scrollbar" {
bg[NORMAL] = shade (0.60, @selected_bg_color)
bg[PRELIGHT] = shade (0.70, @selected_bg_color)
bg[ACTIVE] = shade (0.80, @selected_bg_color)
}
possible you forgot to change the color variable for bg[NORMAL] and / or bg[PRELIGHT] ?
Also fwiw, make a copy of the Numix theme your working on, like NumixXXXv2 for sanity sake.
EDIT - mb posted while I was typing. Good point. From your post though seems it just didn't work all around. Can you clarify please?

Fixed it. I had mis-read the code in Numix-2.0. I copied it to NumixBrown:
Code: Select all
style "murrine-scrollbar" {
bg[NORMAL] = mix (0.21, @fg_color, @bg_color)
bg[PRELIGHT] = mix (0.31, @fg_color, @bg_color)
bg[ACTIVE] = @selected_bg_color
Thanks for putting me on the right path.

Well, I spoke too soon. A few seconds after making my last post, the unselected scrollbar reverted to black on black. I have double and triple checked my changes, but I cannot get it back to the proper behavior. I have logged out and back on, thinking that might help, but no.
One of the changes even affected my Numix-2.0 theme, which I have not edited! It now has the skinnier scrollbar width from the changes you suggested. I double checked its gtkrc file, and it still says 12 instead of 5. What on earth is going on?
So, I have now bailed out completely and switched to theme MurrinaAzul. At least everything is still working properly in it. But I am more confused than ever.

I'm not sure. Are you housing and editing your themes in ~/.themes, or /usr/share/themes?
Do you happen to have the same theme files in both places?

1) /usr/share/themes
2) No, the files are unique
As of this moment, the Numix-2.0 theme is acting correctly, again. I am using it and I'm going to leave things alone for a while. ;)

Ok, I finally got it working the way I want:
Code: Select all
style "murrine-scrollbar" {
bg[NORMAL] = mix (0.61, @fg_color, @bg_color)
bg[PRELIGHT] = mix (0.81, @fg_color, @bg_color)
bg[ACTIVE] = @selected_bg_color
Now, the unselected scrollbar is visible, it brightens noticeably when the mouse hovers on it, and it is full brown when clicked on. Again, thanks for helping me find the stuff that needed changing.

okay all, happy Sunday. Download the
New and improved NumixVariety pack
Includes the following, and is free.
- Numix, NumixDark, NumixDarker, NumixDarkest, NumixBlack, NumixBrown.
These new versions include some of the scrollbar enhancements discussed above, albeit, slightly different.
Edit - only cared about gtk-2.0 ;)

Thanks Drew, this will please many people :)
We could add a few more in Dark and Light, with color highlighting in Arch-blue, Debian-red, Ubuntu-purple (maybe on top of the NumixBrown), SuSE-green. For all the color lovers :)
Cold winter evenings will be coming soon :)
