Scrollbar arrows make the window look imbalanced

[David Prieto]

Binary package hint: light-themes

Using an up-to-date Lucid.

The new scrollbar's arrows don't show any difference with the window background, making it look just as it the window had a huge border on the right side. I think it would be much better if the arrows blended with the scrollbar, instead of the window background.

I'm attaching a screenshot of the scrollbar's current looks, and a quick mockup of what I propose.

Do the same for Radiance.

This was by design.

Thanks for the reply, James.

I am aware it was by design, but the impression it gives is still the same. I thought I might at least share the thought, see if someone agreed.

I like better the way it is now (the screenshot version). But there is a problem in that this is not
consistent within applications. Here is a screenshot showing the bar in Nautilus and the bar
in Firefox. Nautilus looks as in the screenshot (which I like), but Firefox shows a scrollbar as
in the Mockup.
