Minor issue after upgrade via DNF: Scrollbars in Thunderbird are invisible--they're still there and usable, but you can't see them.

Yea, everything seems to be going this route. For gtk3 apps, this file helps me (I got it from someone else somewhere, maybe in this mailing list):
~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
.scrollbar { -GtkScrollbar-has-backward-stepper: 1; -GtkScrollbar-has-forward-stepper: 1; -GtkRange-slider-width: 15; -GtkRange-stepper-size: 20; }

I have just looked for such a file, but no luck:
$ more ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css more: stat of /home/psmith/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css failed: No such file or directory $
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Wouldn't you just create the file, edit it, and paste in the above configuration commands?
e.g. touch ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css [your text editor choice] ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css select above with mouse, put in file, clean it up, save. Restart X or TBird to pick up the new gtk3 configuration. Probably X.

Thanks, Stan. And if one wants to change the color that is used for background of highlighted text?

You've got me. I don't use thunderbird, so I haven't set that. There should be a preference to set in configuration while it is running. Or there should be a value to set, like those for the scrollbars. Since I think Tbird is a mozilla product, is there a way to get the equivalent of about:config in firefox? That would let you either set the value directly, or find its name so you could set it in the configuration file using css.

Hi Tim, I had the same issue with the upstream versions of Thunderbird and Firefox, plus also with Gedit. The css file that Tom referred to caused the top and bottom arrows to show in Thunderbird and Firefox but not with Gedit. I also had and issue with the home page of my bank when shown in firefox, the userid and password text boxes were shown compressed instead of their normal size, but once you logged in then text boxes were shown in their normal size. I found that the problem was the GTK3.0 theme that I had switched to when I found that Fedora had changed the theme I was using, and in my view stuffed it up, the change caused entries in the inbox and all my folder names to be displayed in Deep Blue in F24 whereas in F23 they were displayed as Black. I use KDE, so when I used System Settings->Application Style->Gnome Application Style(GTK) to change the GTK3.0 Theme from Ambiance (which is what I moved to when I found that Radiance was stuffed) to Breeze all the scrollbar/Download Progress Bar/Web Text Bar issues all resolved themselves and displayed appropriately.
regards, Steve

Thanks, Steve. I didn't mention the version of Thunderbird involved is the current 47.0b2 (beta) release, downloaded directly from Mozilla and installed in /usr/local.
The current version in the Fedora repo is the a non-beta version (thunderbird-45.1.1-2.fc24.x86_64), and it does not suffer from the invisible scrollbars issue.
