Description Mohamed-Ikbel Boulabiar 2009-05-25 09:20:23 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I can't find where can I change the size of the scrollbars in KDE 4.
I am in an internship in the Interactive Computing Lab, Toulouse, France and we work on multi-touch tablets.

I am facing many problems using scrollbars because fingers are much bigger than them.

Windows 7 is changing all his interface and making icons larger to facilitate finger touch. KDE can do the same thing even better.

It isn't very hard to be implemented but it is much needed. Still more demos to be made more than the one in the link.

Multi-touch/touch tablets are becoming ubiquitous, so we should always think the interface with this information in mind.

AFAIK this is Style-dependant. 
And Oxygen@KDE4.3 already includes an option to set the scrollbars width.
(implemented in rev: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=937603 )

Marking as FIXED as this is implemented for the Official KDE widget style.
KDE can't change this for the other styles.
Thanks
