Hi,

I'm using gnome with 11.04 and the terminal window slider is almost
exactly the same colour as the background, making its scrolling
capability less useful. I don't see how to change this setting. I'd
like the slider in the right scrollbar to be some light contrasting
colour. Anyone able to tell me where to look/ I've read through the
settings, etc.

I am also interested in a way to change this.
I spend most of my time at work connected to remote servers using the
terminal and I would certainly appreciate an answer to this request.
I have looked in Configuration Editor but could not find the way.
Thanks.

The terminal window slider is the same as the slider on any other
window, for me.
Which theme are you using? Look in System > Preferences > Appearance
if I remember correctly for 11.04.
Have you tried other themes?

I am not the OP, but thank you,,, this helps.
I will just have to play around with themes and controls in order to
find the right mix (some combinations are hard to look at :-) )
