Remove or Disable Overlay Scrollbar – Ubuntu 11.04

Published by Matheus (X-warrior) Bratfisch on April 28, 2011

Hello,

I like the normal scrollbars. So when I installed Ubuntu 11.04, I didn’t like the new type of scrollbars. If you want to remove it:

$ sudo apt-get remove overlay-scrollbar

If this doesn’t work, try this (tips from Joonas)

$ sudo apt-get remove liboverlay-scrollbar-0.1-0

Or if you just want to disable it (I think it is betters), do this:

$ sudo echo “export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0” > /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80overlayscrollbars

Reboot your system.

That is it!
Matheus
