I have just installed the dark theme, how do I hide the editor scroll bars?

You cannot. Scrollbars are rendered by the browser and we have little to no control over them.

I asked because the themes npm page shows it without scroll bars:
dark

It’s a Mac :slight_smile:

Ah, thanks Dave!

Enter the URL

chrome://flags/#overlay-scrollbars

It will take you to the Chrome experimental features, Click in the drop down.

By default it will be disabled (set as default), you need to enable it to hide the Scrollbar.

Full screen mode. I am really happy with this now.

The above method doesn't work in the newest version of chrome.

Starting chrome with the following option works (for now)

/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable %U --enable-features=OverlayScrollbar,OverlayScrollbarFlashAfterAnyScrollUpdate,OverlayScrollbarFlashWhenMouseEnter
