This is for perspective in ignition. I have a drop down as shown below  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/e/a/eac5f2cb90358a689822d3f8850fd6e938b1312d.png)  
I want to make the scroll bar wider so it's more touch friendly

I also want to make the list options hold more items. I was wondering if there was an an easy way to do it without doing any gateway modifications

I suspect that's an operating system setting - not internal to Perspective.

1. What OS are you using?
2. What client are you using?

So I'm on Windows 11  
The browser is Brave but the snapshot is from the designer itself when I play it

I was presuming there was a scroller option that could be modified somewhere

you can use the advanded stylesheet to add creat class and add  
::-webkit-scrollbar behind it to target only the scrollbar of a dropwdown

> You have more options with ::-webkit-scrollbar But support is more limited (doesnt really work that well in the designer/app) in chrome it works fine tho

Hey Victor  
Thanks for sending that.  
I'm currently required to use  
**Ignition Platform** `8.1.17 (b2022051210)`  
I know that feature is only for 8.1.19 if I'm not mistaken  
I ended up using the trick below and adding the fit-content attribute to max-height  
[Dropdown Height - Ignition - Inductive Automation Forum](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/dropdown-height/48271/2)

> **[max-height - CSS: Cascading Style Sheets | MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/max-height)**
>
> The max-height CSS property sets the maximum height of an element. It prevents the used value of the height property from becoming larger than the value specified for max-height.

you could also inject the scrollbar style into a styleclass just like the max-height in the post you linked
