Disable scrollbar on new frame
I would like to make sure that scrollbars never show up on my windows, but I recently noticed that when I created a new frame with C-x 5 2 the new frame gets a scrollbar, even though the original frame does not. The lines that might be relevant from…

What are my options for scroll bars in terminal emacs?
I use emacs in the terminal. One thing that I miss sometimes from a more traditional GUI editor are scrollbars. Sure, there's the percentage in the modeline, but sometimes you just want a visualization. Also, the percentage doesn't visualize how…

How can I disable the vertical scroll bar on just the minibuffer?
Look at this tiny scroll bar (circled in red):
I think I could use the elisp function set-window-scroll-bars, but I don't know how to specify the minibuffer.

Microsoft Visual Studio has a very useful wide scrollbar where you get to see the whole file scaled so it fits vertically. Is there a way to do this in Emacs?
I've looked into having a 2nd frame and changing the zoom of the font in that frame, but…

How can I stop my scrollbar "bouncing" into and out of existence
I just installed Spacemacs on a new Mac and am getting some weird behavior—the scroll bar appears when I scroll (making the window wider), then disappears when I stop scrolling. This doesn't happen on my other MacBook so I'm not sure exactly what's…

Replace ugly scroll-bar with vertical line characters
Let's face it, the scroll bars for the graphical emacs are both ugly and, if you're sufficiently experienced, entirely unnecessary. Here's a picture of terminal emacs (which uses the | character to separate horizontally aligned buffers) adjacent to…

Scrollbar only on selected buffer
I'm using toggle-scroll-bar to show scrollbar on my frame. But is there a way to show scrollbar only on the selected buffer?
I think I can use focus-in-hook to detect when a buffer is active, but I don't know how to show scrollbar on it.

Native mac scrollbar in emacs?
Emacs comes with it's own solution for scrollbars(rather than using native macOS scrollbar) and honestly, I find them kinda intrusive and ugly. Can I somehow configure scrollbars to use native mac scrollbar which only pops up when scrolling. Kinda…

Floating Scroll Bars
In Mac OS X Lion and above, scroll bars can "float" on top of the content and only appear when scrolling. This provides insight on where you are in a document as well as the size of the document, without the scroll bar taking up room.
