The new Gmail has been persistantly annoying me with the transparent (and therefore invisible) scroll bar - here's an extension that fixes it in Chrome, in case I'm not the only one:

Thank you.

There's a lot about the functionality that I like, but the invisible scroll bar was driving me batty.

Now if only I could find an extension to pin open the folder/label list...

I hate the scroll bar, too.

But isn't the new gmail just gonna be mandatory in a while? I may be techily wrong, o' course...

Yeah, that's why I don't switch back to the old one. I'm going to have to get used to the new interface eventually, no sense in delaying the inevitable!

I use the Dusk theme in new Gmail, and my scroll bar is visible. Maybe it's just invisible with the standard theme?

The problem is no matter what theme you use, the scroll bar is always the same semi-transparent off-white. So on some themes it's fine and on others it's totally invisible.

Who is on the Google appearance team, seriously? Their redesign has been such a pain in the ass.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Gris, talk to me about the uses you've put Tasker to. I'm trying to work out if it's worth it. The particular wall I'm slamming my head against will go away when I lose the rental with the bluetooth phone attachment anyway, so even if Tasker solves it specifically, there's no reason to think it solves it generally (working out when I'm outside WiFi reach, so it switches on the phone's hotspot--I'm currently cheating by assuming "connected to car's bluetooth"="disconnected from WiFi" which isn't strictly true, but good enough).
