Is it possible to change the size of the scroll bars in Adobe Bridge 13? I think they were bigger in the previous version. In ACR the scroll bars ar better sized!

Win10, main display 2560x1440. Bridge 13.0.0.562.

I'm using the horizontal filmstrip, and I normally scroll through the images by clicking in the scroll bar. In this manner, I can be sure that I see all the images without skipping any. But after the update to v.13 I find the scroll bars narrower then before, and it is hard to click on it. Sometimes I select a few images, and then skroll further to see other images, but when I accidentally click just a bit too high, my selection is lost.

This is due to Adobe using non-standard windows, and not the normal OS controls. IOW this was done on purpose not by mistake.

Thank you Lumigraphics, for your reply.

I expected that it was done on purpose, but I was curious if I could adjust it to my likings. But I'll will get used to it.

Best, Thijs

Sorry, but #1: no you can't. And #2: they appear to the similar in width to me to other applications.

In the image below, #1 is Bridge, #2 is Safari, and #3 is MS Word. Three different applications from three different manufacturers. Generally, OSs have very tight rules that software companies have to abide by.

Sorry.

Thanks Gary for your reply and screenshot. Are you on Win or Mac?

All scroll bars in all applications on my computer are the size like the ACR one in the screenshot, except Lightroom's are narrower, and in the new version of Bridge they are narrower. Maybe all applications follow the OS format, but Adobe overrides that in their newer versions?

Anyway, since there is no way to change it, I will have to live with it. The only thing I could change is my Win OS theme settings; I am using settings to mimic ancient Windows versions, because I do not like rounded corners, animated windows, etc. But my gut feeling is that Adobe sets their own sizes, overriding the OS.
