How enlarge the vertical scrollbar width?

How enlarge the vertical scrollbar width?
I am using Win 11 and TB ver 102.x
The scrollbar is very narrow and I would like to increase its width.

Omit.

In that case (using just userChrome.css) it changes the scrollbar width and changes the colors to make the thumb easier to select, but didn't make the thumb wider until it was selected by the mouse. Then it makes the thumb the width of the scrollbar. Annoying but good enough for now. This works for me with 102.3.1 (64-bit) under Windows 11Pro.

Thanks for replying but it still is not working. Here is my chrome.ccs

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gateke ... s.only.xul");

/* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Pane_and_menu_fonts */
/* Global UI font - the leading '*' is not a typo */
* { font-size: 16pt !important;
font-family: Verdana !important;
}
/* Make Sidebar header big and bold */
#folderpane-title {
font-size: 1.2em !important;
font-weight: bold !important;
}
/*

* Do not remove the @namespace line -- it's required for correct functioning
*/

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gateke ... s.only.xul");

/*
*Change width of scrollbar in main view
*/

scrollbar { width: 40px !important; }


Is this right ?

You don't need the namespace url anymore. My userChrome.css file (was that a typo when you typed chrome.css?) in the chrome directory is just:

scrollbar {
-moz-appearance: none !important;
background: white !important;
width: 30px;
scrollbar-color: blue white;
}

I used to set the global UI font using it too but with version 102 I can set it using the user interface.

Thanks again for replying, I have change it to the following but nothing seem to; have change a;so am I placing it into the right folder?
C:\Users\elyan\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\u2y2z5np.default\chrome

This is what I put into the userChrome.ccs

scrollbar {
-moz-appearance: none !important;
background: white !important;
width: 30px;
scrollbar-color: blue white;
}



I really do not mess with the userChrome much.
Thanks for trying to help me.

The location seems right. I'm using C:\Users\Eric\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\i2h0a3a2.default-release\chrome\userChrome.css

Did you change toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true using the config editor?

You might also need this code in the userContent.css file, in the same place as userChrome.css, to change the width in the Message Pane.

:root {
scrollbar-color: grey orange;
scrollbar-width: 25px;
}

Sorry I do not know what you mean. I can not find the "config editor" anywhere under "Tools" . I believe it was eliminated from TB.

Its at tools -> settings -> general -> config editor. If you don't have the menu bar toolbar enabled and are using the app menu button (looks like a stack of three hamburgers) you can select settings -> general -> config editor instead.

You can temporarily enable the menu bar toolbar by pressing the ALT key. That will let you use view -> toolbars to permanently enable it etc. I normally assume everybody has enabled the mail and menu toolbars.
