Scrollbars should have different appearances on macOS vs Windows & Linux #98

Closed rock3r closed 2 months ago

rock3r commented 1 year ago

Scrollbars are rounded and flat, resembling the macOS' native ones on that OS, but they are rectangular and with a border on Windows and Linux. They also behave differently in terms of animations and show/hide behaviour. They also have "thin" variants.

Thin com.intellij.ui.components.ThinMacScrollBarUI com.intellij.ui.components.ThinScrollBarUI

Further note: scrollbars can look different when they are on transparent or non-transparent backgrounds. They also have a border in non-macOS OSes, but theoretically could also have it on macOS (they have the LaF properties to).

Another note: the scrollbars (at least on macOS) go immediately to the "fully opaque" state, and then animate back to translucent. The built-in scrollbars in Compose Desktop simply don't allow us to do that. They also don't provide a way to customise behaviour when clicking on the track. Lastly, Swing scrollbars only make the thumb opaque when it's directly hovered, not when the track is hovered.
