The scroll bar is very thin, making clicking difficult. And the internal windows have thinner bars.... Very annoying... Can anyone tell me how to increase the width? How did someone not notice this?

But it's pretty obvious reading threads posted on almost any bit of software offered by anyone that user customization is popular. One would wonder why anyone would buck this preference.

And especially, since the PC/Mac is not extinct, one would wonder what appeal a razor-thin scrollbar that cannot be customized would have, unless one liked aggravating people, I guess. 🙂

I could understand, if a developer was thick enough to believe that everyone used a phone, thus screen real estate is ultra valuable, and PC/Mac users ... well, the heck with them.

Whatever worked must be backed up. It's very stupid not to allow users to customize their appearance.

But it doesn't allow the Custom Scrollbars extension to work universally across the browser. The pages where that extension doesn't work now show a slightly thicker scrollbar than before I followed your advice, but not nearly as thick as the Custom Scrollbar setting I'm using, which works on some sites but not on others.

But there are chromium based browsers that do not interfere with extensions, or with Windows utilities, which can make adjustments. It just seems like the Opera people want to be stubborn about this, which leaves me, "Why on earth?".

opera://flags/#component-based-scrollbar
and set it to Disabled. Then restart Opera.
