Scroll Bars

Can you change the width of the Scrollbars in XY?

I like mine wide(r) and my Windows 11 settings do not seem to carry in to XY.

I have looked in Help etc.

So you changed the width via registry and it doesn't apply to XY?

No - I used the setting in Winaero Tweaker to change the width of the Scroll Bars (which I assume is a Registry tweak) - and which DOES translate in to several Windows applications but NOT to XY.

I have now used the Registry tweak listed above (thanks jupe) which also translates in to said Windows applications - BUT SIMILARLY NOT TO XY.

Are all XY scrollbars immune to customization, or just the ones in tree and list?

I have really only experimented with Tree and List. But now, whatever was done in .0002, makes them narrower than they were before even though in other applications they are much wider.

It looks like they are still immune to tweaking - but the starting-point is now narrower than the previous (also immune) starting point.

What are your values at that ScrollWidth registry key, and what is your screen scaling (100%, 125% ...)?
