67446 - Classic theme ignores scrollbar width

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 61188

(SeaMonkey :: Themes, defect)

Description

[Alistair Vining]

The Windows "Display : Appearance" control panel allows you to set the scrollbar
width, but these settings aren't carried over into Mozilla for non-native
scrollbars.

Reasons why this is a useful setting on Windows: 1. narrow scrollbars are useful
on laptops, small screens, for users with a lifetime of mouse-use, 2. wide
scrollbars are useful for those using high resolutions and anyone who'd have
difficulty reaching small click-targets.

Problems in implementing it: the arrows ought to scale according to size
(they're taken from the marlett.ttf font), but won't because we use .gifs
instead.  Big arrow in small scrollbar & vice versa might look worse than if
nothing had been done.
