2012-09-20 09:33:00 Willem van Gerven description I prefer the more conservative style "normal" scrollbars over the overlay scrollbars. I have set them to false in the terminal: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface ubuntu-overlay-scrollbars false However, after doing so with some apps (e.g. Nautilus, Document Viewer) my scrollbars only view a vertical bar, but no arrows on the top and bottom to scroll up and down. With some programs these are shown though, for instance Gummi and Texmaker. It would make a big difference (for instance when having to scroll pdf documents containing several hundreds of pages) to have those arrows reinstated. Moreover, it is more aestetic and adds to the pleasant working experience Unity is. I prefer the more conservative style "normal" scrollbars over the overlay scrollbars.
