Too thin scrollbar in tile mode

[Anixx]

The scrollbar is too thin in the tile (mod store) mode. The user has to pixelhunt to catch it.

The preferences option regarding scrollbar thickness only affects the editor mode and not store mode.

It's a VSCode limitation, the editor scrollbars and the WebView scrollbars are implemented differently, which causes some inconsistencies, for example:
microsoft/vscode-discussions#998

And it seems that in newer VSCode versions there's an issue which causes them to be unstyled:
microsoft/vscode#213045

Ideally, VSCode could have editor.scrollbar.verticalScrollbarSize affect WebView scrollbars as well, or have another option for that, but I doubt that they'll add something like this. You can try and open an issue for VSCode.

Meanwhile, I can add a specific handling for that in Windhawk. I'll consider it, but it won't be high priority.

Unstyled? You mean, they are in Classic theme? That's good :-)

Everything should be better styled as the system theme.

And take dimensions from the Control Panel WindowMetrics registry key. If I want the scrollbars bigger, I can make them bigger in the Window Metrics section. That's why one has to write apps that follow the systemwide settings. So not to have hundreds of issues with particular scrollbars, fonts, etc.

Maybe "less styled" is more precise, check out the linked issue for screenshots.

Feel free to suggest that to the VSCode guys as well :)

I honestly do not understand, why this whole Electron thing became so popular for development.

Recently I have installed the ChatGPT app, and it is also an Electron app, which means that

• It brings with itself the whole standalone Chromium browser, and takes 286 MB drive space (even though its sole mission is to serve as a chat window)

• It does not follow the system theme style, except the dark/light mode.

• It does not use the system fonts: neither sybpixel smoothing, nor the font family, nor the color. It uses grey font on
  white background, which coupled with greyscale antialiasing makes the font unreadable (as opposed to my system theme which uses black font on white background). In dark mode it uses the same grey font on black background.

At least, it does not disappear when not hovered. I abolutely hate that scrollbar autohide. And the arrows are very useful.
