I'm desperate for a proper scrollbar on my Macbook. I'm certain that the lack of a fat scrollbar on Mac OS is contributing to my RSI.

I know every shortcut to scroll possible. Nothing comes close to navigating long documents than a meaty scrollbar. With current display aspect ratios, I can afford to lop 40 pixels off my screen for this one affordance.

Accesibility ? Why would i go to Settings to tell my computer that i want scrollbars, titlebars, buttons, links ? AFAIK MacOSX does not come with a touchscreen.

Is your complaint:

- You can have the UI/UX affordances that you prefer, but you resent the fact that they’re not the default affordances (and so have to affirmatively set them to match your preferences)?

- You can have the UI/UX affordances that you prefer, but you resent the fact that other people have other preferences (and wish your preferred defaults to be the only options for those affordances)?

- Something else that’s less clearly inferred?

What? This isn't in accessibility settings, it's in appearance settings.

That is on. I'm talking about wide scrollbars. Not ones you have to click with precision.
