Improve scrollbar on windows dark theme?

[Infinite Persistence]

Hi,

I haven't used SmartGit in Windows for a while.  When I switched back, the bright (and thick) scrollbar looks a jarring.  

Is there any way I can customize it? (I did briefly look into the custom themes, but don't see any entries for scroll bar).

Thanks.

p/s: I thought SWT is supposed to the "independent of system"? The one in Linux looks great.

Hi,

Please give SmartGit 25.1 preview a try:

https://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/preview/

which should fix it.

IIRC, the dark scrollbar code is some kind of hack in SWT using undocumented Windows API. Hence, with each major update of Windows the new build needs to be white-listed. This is no small patch for the SWT library, so we don't introduce it in a SmartGit release version.

"I thought SWT is supposed to the "independent of system"?"

No, actually, the exact opposite.  SWT's goal is to use the native controls as much as possible. Directly from the source, https://www.eclipse.org/swt/:

"SWT is an open source widget toolkit for Java designed to provide efficient, portable access to the user-interface facilities of the operating systems on which it is implemented."

It works!  Still a bit thick, but good enough :)

Thanks, Thomas.
