Request: Larger + Wider Scrollbars about cherrytree HOT 9 CLOSED

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you again. You continue to impress me with this incredible software of yours! And also how responsive you were!

Also, I love how you handled the UI options with the new scrollbar feature! Genius!

I just donated to you with PayPal. It is not much, but I hope it helps! Thanks again! (I hope you actually see this message since the issue is "closed"!)

Fat scrollbars...!

Awesome! I will look forward to the next update! No rush, though!

I did increase significantly the size of the scrollbars on windows as it is indeed hardly usable with that GTK theme. If it will be enough for you I won't make it configurable, otherwise I will make it configurable for now only manually editing the config.cfg file. If you wish to evaluate I can make a Windows build for you.

Hey, thank you so much! I would love (and be honored) to evaluate your test build.

I use the extension Scrollbar Customizer in some of my browsers. And I started making my web browser scrollbars perhaps 7mm (1/2 inch) wide with custom colors. I know that is bigger than most people would like.

Also, I notice that you have CherryTree hide the scrollbar when the user is not using or hovering over it. That is beautiful, and I am sure many users would prefer that. However; I have found that now I prefer to see it always so on a very long page I can tell by just looking where I am on the page, top, middle or bottom.

Still, I have tried many text editors, notepad utilities and notetaking applications over a very long time. And you have by FAR the best one! I have configured the toolbar and the theme, and it is amazing! Thank you so much for this great tool! I use it every day.

Please download the portable test version https://www.giuspen.net/software/cherrytree_1.0.4.0+18_win64_portable.7z and provide feedback. I also added an option in config.cfg 'overlay_scroll' that you can manually edit changing the value from 2 (system settings) to 0 (off) to disable the overlay scrollbar for the text and so ensure that it doesn't hide

Wow, that was fast!

Yes, in brief testing it appears to work as designed. The scrollbar is wider now. That is really going to be helpful!

And I set the config.cfg to turn the auto-hide feature off, as you indicated. That works great, too!

I don't want to be greedy, but I would still appreciate the ability to customize/make the scrollbar even wider, even if it is just a config.cfg setting rather than built in to the official UI for now. But even if you can't get to that right now, what you have done already is a massive improvement for me, and hopefully your other many users!

Thank you so much!

That's ok I'll put also the min scrollbar size in the config.cfg only for now
