Scrollbar invisible in Konsole

I love KDE, but there is a problem with the Plasma shell that has surprisingly unnoticed. There are two problems with the scrollbar. The Breeze themes don't allow the user to set the scrollbar thickness, which is a problem because the default scrollbar in Breeze is too narrow.

The second is that the scrollbar derives its color from the view background, often making it impossible to see. I am attaching a screenshot in which Konsole shows no scrollbar at all. To reproduce the problem, just run a command in Konsole with very output (I ran `pacman -Syyu`).

Ideally, the scrollbar color should derive its color from the window background or, even better, be independently tunable. For example, in the screenshot referred, the scrollbar should have been brown -- the color of the Menu Bar.

Looking into it; thanks for the report! :)

This is specific to Konsole due to Konsole's use of an inline scrollbar that does not automatically re-color itself according to the background. See also Bug 393423.

This is pretty much a Konsole bug; not sure there's anything we can do about it in Breeze.

Hi all, can you please at least provide an option to tune the widht/thickness of the scrollbar in Breeze / Breath themes ? Thanks - Manish Jain
