The thin Google vertical scroll bar

[LHutton]

Any ideas how I get the fat one back?

I'm assuming you mean in Chrome on desktop.

Not liking!

Thanks for the input Kch, but why Google, why?

On a 24 inch screen, they've given me an extra millimeter of viewing space for the sake of a totally useless vertical scroll bar. Dense twats.

Win7 scrollbar installed. Thanks Keith!


I always forget that you can usually customize things like that.

From what I can tell the thin scroll bar was introduced to match the scroll bars that were default in the latest OSs.

Edit: Or not, it seems like it was a bug that they're aware of and planning on fixing - http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-576...roll-controls/

Oh well I guess it wasn't deliberate. That's something.

Chrome question since this is already about it.

anyone know why the most visited thing in the new tabs isn't refilling or randomly deleting page links? speaking of the 8 things under the search when you open a new blank tab of course.
