Bug 145513 – Scrollbars render with glitches using GTK themes that do not define a background for them

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

Screenshot

With GTK+ themes where the background of the scrollbar is set to transparent,
the scrollbar painting does not seem to be blended with the web view as
background, and the scrollbar marker is just painted over and over, without
ever clearing the background.

Reported downstream for the MosSky theme here:

   https://github.com/dasnoopy/moslight-themes/issues/14

The theme author commented:

Probably there is something that should be done in the WebKitGTK+ side to have
the transparent background in scrollbars render properly blended over the web
content.

We have transparency in the default Adwaita theme now and it seems to work, I think this can be closed.

Assuming fixed, unless Adrian wants to check this theme out again.

I cannot try MosSky anymore because it does not support GTK 3.24,
but the Zukitre theme had the same issue and is now working fine…
so I'd say this is indeed fixed :)
