Firefox elevator up/down arrows missing?

[Rava]

i looked into this a bit more:
for gtk3 you can:
add to /home/guest/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

Code: Select all

.scrollbar {
  -GtkScrollbar-has-backward-stepper: 1;
  -GtkScrollbar-has-forward-stepper: 1;
  -GtkRange-stepper-size: 13;
  }

Since the fix has nothing to do with Firefox itself, I presume it would work for Palemoon as well?

since palemoon still uses gtk2, something different would be needed..
to me, the easiest approach would be to use a theme that includes this feature.. eg blue menta
this: https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1013322/ might work, though it might not be compatible with a newer gtk+3..
alternatively, you might be able to find the relevent gtk2 code for the elevator button, in its gtkrc..

Arggh why do they do stuff like this, one browser gtk3, the other gtk2, both now without elevator buttons.

Hmmm to me it needs to be a dark theme, currently I run Adwaita-dark with Pt5 and openbox.
Or is that not the kind of theme we are talking about?

Also, is such a theme always one thing that works for both gtk2 and gtk3?

Cause in either XFCE or Openbox, I just choose the one dark theme and all is well, be I running Firefox (gtk3) or Palemoon (gtk2), all have nice eye soothing dark background and the menu text is light grey.

I use Firefox ESR 52.9.0 which doesn't have the elevators either but I have no problem scrolling up and down webpages using my touch tab and up/down keys.

yes, but, if you look in /usr/share/themes/Adwaita you'll see a gtk3 folder and a gtk2 folder..
gtk2 uses .xml (gtkrc) and gtk3 uses .css (gtk.css)

anyways, for a dark theme: grab mate-themes : http://slackware.uk/msb/current/latest/ ... -1_msb.txz
and extract from usr/share/themes BlackMATE and stick it in /usr/share/themes or even ~/.themes ..
note this will put elevator buttons on every scrollbar, not just web browsers..

Same is true for Adwaita-dark:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/mnt/live/memory/images# l /usr/share/themes/Adwaita-dark/*/ -d
drwxr-xr-x 3 root 121 2018-04-13 16:39 /usr/share/themes/Adwaita-dark/gtk-2.0/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root  30 2018-04-13 16:39 /usr/share/themes/Adwaita-dark/gtk-3.0/

anyways, for a dark theme: grab mate-themes : http://slackware.uk/msb/current/latest/ ... -1_msb.txz
and extract from usr/share/themes BlackMATE and stick it in /usr/share/themes or even ~/.themes ..
note this will put elevator buttons on every scrollbar, not just web browsers..

So, when running the system in always fresh mode, I could create a themes.xzm including the BlackMATE theme put into /usr/share/themes?

I try that out, thanks for the heads up.

This does indeed work.
