Strangest thing...I went to scroll a pic to the left and the scroll button wasn't there. Its positioned has moved next to the right scroll button (pic). The same is true for the scroll up button. It's moved next to the scroll down button. How do I move them back to their proper positions? Using 2.6.8.

From the information you have provided, I would *guess* your display/window manager is setting it.

Thank you for your reply, Patrick. I must admit that I'm not familiar with Gimp's display/window manager. Looked in Preferences > Display but see nothing that controls button positions. Is there other information I can provide to clarify the problem?

GIMP does not get to choose it's display (or window) manager, you do. I use KDE4 on openSUSE-Factory and see nothing resembling your example. But I have 2.8.10 so it may have changed.

I thought you were referring to a Gimp function. Did a Windows restart to no avail. Is the window in 2.8.10 substantially different?

I really cannot remember any difference in the display, but restarting windows of what-ever version surely would have no bearing even thou windows users have that *habit* deeply ingrained. Aiui the window manager determines how various elements are displayed and I doubt that GIMP has that finely grained control to actually determine the *location* of the slider controls but rather the display of and left/right or top/bottom location, not the actual arrows themselves.

perhaps a windows user can advise, I have no copy of windows since 3.0. FOSS!

This certainly looks like a window manager problem. I don't believe that gimp has any control over scroll bar position or style. It looks to me like a style thing. In gimp, you can turn scroll bars off and on under Preferences > Image Windows > Appearance > Show Scrollbars, But no other influence AFAIK.

Just for kicks, I would try changing your windows theme and see what kind of results you get.

Looks like you're using Windows 7 with a 3rd party theme. Try switching to the Windows' default theme, and see if that solves the problem (it probably will).

Despite what others have said, this is nothing to do with your window manager.

It is entirely controlled from the theme you are using. The simple way to get back to having the stepper at the normal end of the scrollbar is to switch back to using the default theme : Edit>>Preferences>>Theme and select Default.

However, if you wish to continue using this theme you will have to edit the rc file(s) associated with it to allow the use of the backward stepper and not display the secondary backward stepper:

GtkScrollbar::has-backward-stepper = 1 GtkScrollbar::has-secondary-backward-stepper = 0

Thanks so much for the replies akovia, Jernej Simončič and Kevin Payne. I will start with changing the Gimp theme back to the default and work from there. I’ll report back on any successes or failures.

Interesting. Started in Gimp with Edit > Preferences > Theme only to find that there was no default theme. I do remember that there used to be a Small theme located there as well. Perhaps this IS the problem.

Then "restored" Windows back to the default theme and there was NO EFFECT on the scroll buttons in Gimp.

If I were just to re-install Gimp (not uninstall it first) to regain the Default and Small themes, would it delete the current themes in the themes folder?

Just to be safe (!TM), move or copy your themes to another temporary directory prior to reinstall so you can move/copy them back if necessary and you have removed that worry from your task.

gud luk,
