Dead scroll bar

[Morten Juhl-Johansen Zölde-Fejér-2]

Question & comment -
One of the reasons I really, really like Claws is the way the interface
can be set to be very clean and efficient while still pleasant to look
at.
There is one thing that I keep wondering about, though - the scrollbar:

It is just sitting there, and most people won't need it (even if one
might suspect that Claws would attract filtering enthusiasts). And even
if some might need it, why show it to those who don't?
Not whining, just puzzled.

Yours,
Morten

It's so that the folder list columns don't change size during
expanding/shrinking of folder trees. You can change that setting with
the hidden preference "folderview_vscrollbar_policy". Check the manual
for a short intro into and a list of hidden preferences. Clawsker may
also be of interest (http://www.claws-mail.org/clawsker)

Okay, brilliant! So simple. I changed folderview_vscrollbar_policy=0 to
1 and now it looks just right. Thank you for the tip.
Yours,
Morten
