There are [advanced settings](https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/blob/main/docs/advanced-usage.md#advanced-settings) to configure this behavior (`editor.scrollbar.horizontal` and `editor.scrollbar.vertical`). Unfortunately, there is a bug in the version of the [**Eclipse Theia** IDE framework](https://theia-ide.org/) currently in use by Arduino IDE 2.x that causes the setting to be forgotten every time you open a new window: > > > \### Bug Description: > > When a non-default value is set for certain "User" setti…ngs, the default value is still used for all new editors/windows. > > Other settings are applied correctly. > > I have not done a comprehensive survey of all settings, but these are the settings I have discovered so far: > > \- \`editor.find.addExtraSpaceOnTop \` > \- \`editor.hover.delay\` > \- \`editor.scrollbar.scrollByPage\` > > Examples of functional settings: > > \- \`editor.autoClosingBrackets\` > \- \`editor.renderWhitespace\` > > \### Steps to Reproduce: > > 1.

So the fix will reach the IDE as a matter of course as the Arduino IDE developers find the time to update the Theia dependency version (doing this usually requires also making changes in the Arduino IDE codebase, so it is not so easy as simply bumping the version). > [@Terrypin](#): > > Can't begin to understand that change. It seems reasonable to me. The scrollbar will appear again as soon as you move the mouse pointer into the panel, so it will always be available as soon as you reach the point of needing it. When not needed, it doesn't occupy precious space in the UI. > [@Terrypin](#): > > None of the themes is quite right for me. I put some hours into adding to my themes but it seems I'd now have to learn 'VS Code'? Or can I plagiarise as before via ZIP files that others have shared? It is not clear to me what you mean by "learn 'VS Code'". If you are not satisfied with any of the themes that are installed by default, you might be interested in this information about installing any of the thousands of additional themes created by the community, or even making your own: > [@Personal themes](https://forum.arduino.cc/t/personal-themes/1024606/2): > > Hi @F6EEQ. Arduino IDE 2.x uses a completely different theme system than Arduino IDE 1.x, so none of the information about [the 1.x theme system](https://github.com/per1234/themetest#editing-the-arduino-ides-theme) is applicable in any way to Arduino IDE 2.x. Arduino IDE 2.x is built on the [Eclipse Theia IDE framework](https://theia-ide.org/), which allows it to use [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) themes.
