ubuntu --"flashback" app/panel "scrollbar" width? -- can it be made wider?

[bruce]

Hi Jeff.

Good reading!  thanks.  For some reason, hadn't seen the dconf-editor,
gtk-widgets information.

The flashback desktop uses 'Yaru' as the theme.

The following, is part of a post/site, but I'm not sure where I should
place the new tested css.

Edit the CSS file
Based on your GTK theme name (e.g., Yaru), navigate to the theme's CSS
directory (e.g., /usr/share/themes/Yaru/gtk-3.0/ ).
You may need to create or edit ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css for
user-specific overrides or edit the theme's own gtk.css or
gtk-widgets.css file.
Note: It's generally recommended to create a user-specific gtk.css
file to avoid modifying system-wide files directly, which might be
overwritten with updates.
3. Add scrollbar CSS
If you're creating ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css or editing the theme's
gtk.css file, add the following CSS block and adjust the min-width and
min-height values to your preference:

css
scrollbar slider {
    /* Size of the slider */
    min-width: 15px;
    min-height: 15px;
    border-radius: 17px;
    /* Padding around the slider */
    border: 2px solid transparent;
}

The dir for Yaru has a resource file/link, but no actual gtk.css file,
or a gtk-widget.css.

So, where should the file be placed? or is it for the local user, in
the user dir?

thanks
