This is not a problem in most app, as you can't change the background and it's light most of the time… In fact, the few non white background apps I have have non white scrollbars gutters.

It's pretty easy to make a decent looking syntax coloring theme for the editor window, it's a completely different thing to make a decent looking interface theme.


Agreed, but I never asked to make them skinable.
The best for me would be to have no gutter, just the theme background, and a dark or light scrollbar depending on the background color.
Just like when the "When scrolling" option is checked, but always visible.

The File Browser is a different story, though.
