Scrollbars?

ca_lazerdwarf

I haven't used this app much, but every time I try I struggle trying to find the scrollbars on many of the windows only to have to shake my head realizing that most of the windows just don't have them.  The main chat window does, but it's nearly impossible to see.

So, can you add some usability by adding back that widget we've had since the 90s, the Scrolbar?

And not thin, low contrast ones. Ones that are easy to see, easy to see the position of and easy to grab and drag.

Don't let your desktop team tell you that this is a difficult feature request.

    All programs need to respect the GUI preferences the user has specified in their OS. If you have customised the scrollbar width and colour in your OS's Control Panel (Appearance Settings, if you're using Windows) then all programs drawn within your user session must adhere to the values you have specified. While the programmers might have good reasons for choosing a sensible default for most users, the individual user themselves has an undeniably well-informed reason why they have set up their own *Personal* Computer the way they have - and programmers just need to trust that the user does genuinely know what they want. Discord seems to defy this standard behaviour... and rather than defy it to use sensible, usable defaults, it chooses implausibly dark, impossibly narrow scrollbars to antagonise the user. This is extremely dysfunctional user interface design. No doubt it is much easier to just hook standard OS widgets than it is to implement your own DIY mischievous scrollbar doppelgängers.
