up2you2 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 On my Dell monitor display resolution 1920 x 1080, the right hand scroll bar is at times nearly impossible to see on some sites. Is it possible to reduce the horizontal width of this display, and if so could you please tell me how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickeymaus Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 A picture and the name of the operating system would be helpful. Also a picture of the screen settings that you have. But could also be a wrong setting at the monitor. Did you check them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scroll bar highlihted, but this is in fact a good version on Aseannow.com, normally what is visual is far narrower than this, to the degree that I have trouble finding it.

I understand the problem now. Which browser are you using?

The following on the recommendation on this site, has had no effect, even when I went up to 5: Use the search box to search for widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.style preference Now double-click on that preference to change the scrollbar width. You can enter any number from 0 to 5. Just add a number and press the Enter key or click on the Save (Blue tick) button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marin Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I am a total IT idiot but had a very similar problem. Mine turned out to be size. Maybe try slightly decreasing your font size. Hit control and the minus key one time and see if it appears. This works for me. Fixed it all after hours of messing around. While you are doing this you can see what percent you are on of the size.

Without changing the scrollbar size you could also try: "widget.non-native-theme.enabled" and set it to false.
