I did not know about the scrollbar addon/extension. Have to find one. Thanks.

In Win11 the bar is even smaller by default. Since most sites are light coloured, there's low contrast from the site to the bar, which can be hard to discern if Opera is not at the edge of the screen. In addition, some sites may use custom CSS (website style) to change or recolour the scrollbar.

A couple of things you can try is:

  • Enforce a different style in your browser. E.g. dark style will make the website's main colour dark, while the bar remains light. Windows theme changes can also carry over.
  • Use an addon/extension that changes the style and colour of the scrollbar.

I guess my original question has been answered.
I still think that Opera could do something about it.
Thanks a lot.

If you can see the scroll bar, you can see where to put the mouse pointer.

The scrollbar Is visible, it's the part that one puts the pointer on to scroll that is almost invisible. Gray on Gray.

Anyway, do you have a screenshot of the issue? And what about a couple of examples where the scroll bar is not well visible?
