I *really* dislike the new photon UI. I WANT the arrow buttons top and
bottom of the scrollbars.
Does anyone know how to bring them back, or is that "that's *sooo* last
year, you can't ever have them again"?

On my Fedora 29 system: ===> ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css Add these lines: .scrollbar, scrollbar { -GtkScrollbar-has-backward-stepper: true; -GtkScrollbar-has-forward-stepper: true; } Restart the apps and the arrows should appear. They are small! I suspect more editing of the .css file can make them larger, but I have not managed to find the exact entry. There is also a way to keep the scroll bars from disappearing when you mouse away from them. ===> /etc/environment Add this line: GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING=0 You have to logout/login to make this take effect. And last - If slider warping really bothers you (it does me!), you can change it with this edit: ===> ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=0 With this setting, clicking the the scroll bar above or below the handle moves one page instead of warping to the relative position in the document. -- Bill Gee

I found that online, after I posted, *but* it did *not* have the ,scrollbar. It also had 1 instead of true, so I changed that, just on general principles, and it works. Btw, what I found online also had -GtkRange-slider-width: 15; -GtkRange-stepper-size: 15;> > Restart the apps and the arrows should appear. They are small!

It bothers me as well. Interestingly enough, I have eight terminals up - they're urxvt, which I prefer, and their scrollbars and buttons never changed. mark
