But could the scrollbar at least be more independent from the native theming?
Again, GTK theming can achieve that, in conjunction with the [widget names we set explicitly](http://www.geany.org/manual/#defining-own-widget-styles-using-gtkrc-2-0) just for that reason. You could do e.g. something like that (alter as pleases you):
```ruby style "geany-scintilla-scrollbars" { # select any non-pixmap engine if your theme is using pixmap like e.g. Adwaita does engine "clearlooks" { style = GLOSSY } # and choose the colors you like (possibly also alter "fg", depending on the engine) bg[NORMAL] = "#333" bg[PRELIGHT] = "#444" bg[ACTIVE] = "#666" } widget "*Geany*Scintilla*Scrollbar" style "geany-scintilla-scrollbars" ```
