The slider and scroll bars aren't as wide as on other (Windows 10)
applications. Is there anything I can adjust to make the bars wider?

You could tweak the CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) of the GTK (GIMP Toolkit) used by Gramps for driving it's interface.
BTW, the Themes addon provides a Preferences option to keep the scrollbar visible even when NOT hovering over the control. -Brian On Thu, Nov 14, 2019 at 8:03, Martnal The slider and scroll bars aren't as wide as on other (Windows 10)

The scroll bars can be modified by changing elements in your theme. Unfortunately this is not as easy to do as you might prefer. Gramps version 5.1.1 has support for a Themes add-on on which will let you select among several themes installed on your machine. There are only a couple of themes installed by default. However the addon help function should point you to a method of installing additional themes.
If you are lucky, you might find one which works better for you, if not, you would have to install and modify one of them yourself. These themes use CSS which is pretty esoteric, so you would have to spend some time learning how to edit them. The themes are based in the linux world, so this is not particularly easy for those not very technically oriented.

I think I will have to live with the scroll bars as they are. I have no
disability, but I imagine that many users are older, with some accessibility
problems though.
Thanks again, Martin

I fought with this on my Linux system (Fedora) for quite a while. The solution is not as good as I would like. The scroll bars, steppers and thumbs are still small, but at least they are always visible! The settings below affect all GTK 3.0 applications - it is not just Gramps. In my case the application I REALLY wanted to change was FireFox.
On Fedora, you have to create a directory in your home directory. It is called
~/.config/gtk-3.0
In that directory there are two files - settings.ini and gtk.css. The relevant settings for these files are:
gtk.css========
.scrollbar, scrollbar {
-GtkScrollbar-has-backward-stepper: true;
-GtkScrollbar-has-forward-stepper: true;
-GtkRange-slider-width: 15;
-GtkRange-stepper-size: 15;
}
settings.ini==========
[Settings]
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=0
gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS
There may be other settings in these files, but these are the ones that control scroll bars, steppers and thumbs.
Windows probably has something similar in the user's AppData\Local directory.

I can confirm that Bill's tweak works well on Windows, and delivers a
definite improvement, at least on GrampsAIO64-5.0.1-1 under Win10pro in
my case—the files go in the user profile folder
......\Appdata\Local\gtk-3.0
