[solved] Configure the width of scrollbars

I use the scrollwheel of my mouse for scrolling. I do not need to click into a scrollbar.
Therefor I don't want to waste part of the width of my display for a wide scrollbar.
_
How could I configure the width of the scrollbar, please?
Until now I have no experience at all in manipulating themes etc.
I would be nice, if you could tell, in which file and with which parameter the width of scrollbars could be configured.
Thanks.

RE: Configure the width of scrollbars

That depends on the theme. Look for the Lipstik theme, version 2 or higher. At least that theme makes the scrollbar width configurable.

OK. I thought, that there is a config file with a parameter for the width of the scrollbar, which is valid for all themes, styles etc.

I found it.

My version was 1.1. The installation of a style from the sources (for Kubuntu I couldn't find a package on that page) needs some steps. I will do this later.

Thanks for your help.
