scroll bar buttons, arrows at the top and bottom of the scroll bar in the Thunderbird inbox, are missing in a linux distrobution. They are present in windows XP. The version is 24.6.0. How can I get them back?

I do not have any linux system, but located this item: re; openSUSE http://opensuse.14.x6.nabble.com/Scrollbar-arrows-inT-bird-and-FF-td4999329.html

scroll down as this person fixed the same issue you seem to be experiencing.

Also Linux REdhat Fedora: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general/424758 quote: In my case, something during the upgrade to f17 has changed xfce's Appearance/Style to using Adwaita-style. This style lacks arrows on scrollbars and therefore hardly usable in scenarios like yours or mine.

Changing 'Appearance/Style' to a different 'style' through Application Menu>Settings'>Appearance->Style brought back the arrows.

Thank s, the code for .gtkrc-2.0 worked. I have been trying to find a configuration application to do that but none that I looked at had an option to turn on or enable the scroll button. Sonny
