Remove or Disable Overlay Scrollbar – Ubuntu 12.10

Good Night,

Sadly (for me) the Scroll bar on Ubuntu 12.10 are still the same as Ubuntu 11.10. I particularly don’t like it. So I tried the same method to disable the overlay scroll bar on Ubuntu 11.10 and Ubuntu 11.04 and Ubuntu 12.04 and it works! (I just tested the disable method.)

Use this:

# echo export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 > /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80overlayscrollbars

If you try the other methods, please let us know if it works!

Remove or Disable Overlay Scrollbar – Ubuntu 11.10

PS: The scrollbar arrow is not showing, maybe a little bug.

Best Regards,,
Matheus

  1. Reading this gave me something to think about for the rest of the afternoon, and after mysticgiant I had even more to mull over, the kind of post that lingers in the background of your day rather than evaporating immediately is genuinely valuable in an attention economy that punishes depth rather than rewarding it.

  2. Beats most of the alternatives on the topic by a noticeable margin, and a look at momentumunlocked did not change that at all, this is one of the better corners of the open internet for this kind of content and I am glad I clicked through rather than skipping past quickly like I usually do.

  3. A piece that exhibited the kind of patience that good writing requires, and a look at visualharbor continued that patient quality, hurried writing is easy to spot and this site reads as having been written without time pressure which produces a different feel than the rushed content that dominates much of the modern blog space.
