Disable Overlay Scrollbars in Ubuntu 11.04
Saturday, April 30th, 2011I updated my Ubuntu to 11.04 yesterday and really didn’t like the new scroll bars.
After a little searching I found

- http://www.matbra.com/en/2011/04/28/remover-ou-desabilitar-a-barra-de-rolagem-overlay-ubuntu-11-04/
- and many more.
Simply add the string “export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0” into the /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80overlayscrollbars file.
E.g perform the following as root
echo "export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0" > /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80overlayscrollbars
