Sure can.
Create a simple text file with the content attached below and save it as /home/user/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
Code:
/* Set thickness of scrollbars */
.scrollbar.vertical slider,
scrollbar.vertical slider {
min-width: 12px;
background-color: #34a853;
}
.scrollbar.horizontal.slider,
scrollbar.horizontal slider {
min-height: 12px;
background-color: #34a853;
}
.scrollbar.vertical.slider:hover,
scrollbar.vertical:hover slider {
min-width: 12px;
}
.scrollbar.horizontal.slider:hover,
scrollbar.horizontal:hover slider {
min-height: 12px;
}
/* Include scrollbar steppers */
.scrollbar,
scrollbar {
-GtkScrollbar-has-backward-stepper: 1;
-GtkScrollbar-has-forward-stepper: 1;
}
scrollbar button {
min-width: 20px;
min-height: 20px;
}
.xfce4-panel {
-XfcePanelWindow-popup-delay: 10;
-XfcePanelWindow-popdown-delay: 10;
}
This will also give you the little arrow icons at top and bottom of scrollbars that can be useful for stepping up and down but unfortunately it does not have any effect on firefox if that is the browser used though you can change that in the about:config page in firefox by changing the entry for widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size a size that fits your needs; mine is set to 24.
Good luck; I hope this is a help to you.
