Enable Overlay Scrollbars In all Applications

Question

Is there a way to force all applications to use the Natty overlay scrollbars?

Examples: Chrome doesn't use it, neither does Firefox, gnome-terminal or a host of other applications.

Google Chrome scrollbars

gnome-terminal scrollbars

There are currently no way to do it. Currently only native Gtk applications support the overlay-scrollbars, additional support will eventually come later on.

Thanks. That makes sense.
So gnome-terminal isn't a native GTK application?

It is, but it has a custom dark theme... – Nicolas Schirrer Apr 18 '11 at 14:53
Gotcha. Just wanted to clarify that. – jrg Apr 18 '11 at 14:59

http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Applications/System/Scrollbars - looks like you can enable them for everything. – jrg Apr 20 '11 at 19:20

Acording to that link, Gwibber it's supported. But Gwibber has overlay Scrollbars only on account selector (left edge) and don't on twitts. http://ubuntuone.com/p/r9L/ – Martín Casco May 05 '11 at 21:46
