When there are scroll wheels on mice and scrollbar functions on thouchpads, a low contrast wide scrollbar doesn’t make sense. So I wanted to change gtk-2.0 scrollbar to something like overlay one – orange narrow slider with white background.
I couldn’t find anything about this here, so I decided to write something about it.
Linux Mint 10 distributions which comes with Mint-X-Metal theme has a scrollbar buttons at the end of the scrollbar for both vertical and horizontal scrollbars, so here a bash shell script will easily help you to easily move these buttons to both sides of the scrollbars.
Open mint-theme-fixer.sh then select open using terminal.
Then choose between different options for replacing default system the
In my opinion, the login sound of Linux Mint is quite annoying so I believe many people would want to disable or change it. Although the method to disable login sound in Ubuntu 12.04 does not work in Linux Mint 13, there is another very easy way to do the task.
To disable the login sound in Linux Mint 13 (both MATE and Cinnamon), you just need to open the menu and go to the Control Center.
The web browsers in the software repository of Linux Mint are usually set to use some custom search engines. For example, Yahoo search and DuckDuckGo are used as the default search engines in Firefox, the preinstalled web browser of Linux Mint 13.
Linux Mint 13 (Maya) is based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Edition, but instead of using Unity as the default Desktop, Linux Mint uses MATE Desktop, although, It is also available with various other Desktop such as Cinnamon (A new Desktop based on Gnome Shell), KDE, XFCE etc.
Additionally, a lot of useful programs and codecs/libraries comes pre-installed in Linux Mint – so it makes Linux Mint 13, a
Hey people,
I did not find an existing thread on this - I just realized that I seem to be unable to grab the overlay scrollbar with a left click - I have a Synaptics Touchpad. I can scroll in the window using the right edge of the touchpad, but when I attempt to grab the scrollbar itself, it disappears, and I end up grabbing the window edge which would resize it. Has anyone seen this issue?
My window manager is dwm, I'm running nvidia drivers, and the scrollbar bug occurs with gtk2's clearlooks, industrial, and mist themes. If you grab the scrollbar and move it very fast, the bug doesn't show itself.

In Windows 7 or Ubuntu, there is the power management option for you to customize things like what to do when laptop battery is low, hard drive behavior when you are using battery, what to do when you press the power button ... However, in Linux Mint 13 - MATE edition, you will not find the power management option the Mint Menu.
Awesome job! I'll tell you I really expected an orange bar in the middle of the blueish theme I have, but luckily that was not the case Anyway, I think I made it work in my setup with only gtk2-ubuntu and liboverlay-scrollbar. I'm running an XFCE desktop. I first installed gtk2-overlay-scrollbar, then I tried with liboverlay-scrollbar but asked me for gtk2-ubuntu.
