scrollbar thickness - Linux

[paracarro]

Hi all

My LabVIEW application works fine in Windows and Linux environment.

Some Listbox and Textbox need a larger scrollbar, beacause of the use of touchscreen.

Using Control Editor, scrollbar can be enlarged for both environment (linux , Win), but the change is not saved and don't works.

For Windows we change scrollbar width in Desktop Advanced Properties.

For Linux we have succesfully changed scrollbar thickness of the Theme in use (GNOME) but our scrollbars in our application don't change.

I have tried creating the .Xdefaults file with the following row inside

*Scrollbar.thickness: 32

but is unsuccessful.

Someone can help me?

Hello paracarro!

First of all I would like to thank you for posting your query in this forum!

In order to find a solution to your problem, i fell onto this knowledge base article that I hope you will find useful!

Take a look at it, it is an interesting solution!

The vi that is contained in the tablescroll.zip  uses boolean buttons instead of a scrollbar.

In this way you lose a bit of scroball utility since there is no bar implementation  for -fast up- and -fast down- but it might help you in your work!

I hope you find this article helpful!

Let me know if everything went fine!

Best regards,
