Why does 15.04 gnome-terminal not have the Unity-style scrollbars?

  • 772

I really like the "overlay-scrollbars" that were introduced in Unity. Here is a screenshot: Unity scrollbar

In 14.04, the gnome-terminal had overlay-scrollbars. But I installed 15.04 (full install, not update) and now gnome-terminal has the old-style scrollbars. The old-style looks like this:

Is there anything I can do to get the overlay-scrollbar in gnome-terminal on 15.04? Did Ubuntu remove this style scrollbar from gnome-terminal or is there something wrong with my installation?

    Try installing the overlay-scrollbar type typing in the following from a terminal window:

    sudo apt-get install overlay-scrollbar

    From a terminal type in the following to enable the scrollbar overlays:

    gsettings reset com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode overlay-auto

    To disable the scrollbar overlays, type in:

    gsettings set com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode normal

    Hope this helps. ;)
