scroll bar width

When I customize scroll bar width it only does it for certain windows and apps like browser scroll bar. However, for my windows setting window it does not widen the scroll bar. How can i widen those as well?

Hello, and welcome.

You can turn on always show scrollbars below to help some for those scrollbars.

The problem is that the Setting's scroll bars are the actual Window's scroll bar size... when you customize scroll bar width.
In other words... when you are customizing scroll bar width... use the Settings pages as a guide.

I've found the -330 is the happy medium with Windows scroll bars and 3rd party scroll bars.



Like so...






The registry settings for scroll bar width are for "Windows" scroll bars.
#rd party scroll bars in things like browsers and other non-Windows programs... do their own thing.


This is the Settings page's scroll bar size when set to -330...




And this is the File Explorer scroll bar (-330)...





While the same -330 setting makes my Firefox scroll bar look like this...






So when you adjust scroll bar width... make sure you adjust it for a Window's window, and not for a 3rd party program's window.

Like I mentioned above... I found -330 to be the happy medium.
Windows scroll bars were big enough, and things like Browser scroll bars, weren't too big.





Also... you may find these useful.

On my 4k screen with Windows Settings | System | Display | Scale = 150% the best (IMO anyway) tradeoff for ScrollHeight and ScrollWidth is -260.
