change editor scrollbar color

["Christopher C. Lanz" <la...@potsdam.edu.INVALID>]

Hello,

When working with a large file, the scrollbar (thumb?) becomes very small, and since its color is "light gray" (I think) it is difficult to see or find quickly while working.

Can the color of that bar (or the thumb therein) be changed? I couldn't find it in the various color-setting panes in "options". There are many posts concerning scroll bars that a user creates using Swing, but that's not the question here. I'm talking about the scrollbar that always appears on the right in the editor.

Thanks.

Possibly take a look at https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/5068
