I think many people do get excited about the new useful features when they see
it. Though of course visuals are important too.

Anyway, the problem with scrollbars and color-schemes/themes is that there are
not two separate colors for the bar and the background of the scrollbar, but
just one color that is modified to be lighter and darker for the bar and the
background respectively. That color is "BackgroundNormal" in section
"[Colors:Normal]". You can set it to "255,0,0" to see the whole bar changing to
red.

>From what I checked, you can get better contrast (using the standard Krita Dark
theme) if you set it to "90,90,90", and basically the lighter it is, the better
the contrast. "100,100,100" is mostly usable too, but keep in mind that the
higher you go, the less contrast you have with text. It looks a bit uglier but
it works better, I guess. The theme that works best is Krita Bright, I believe.

The documentation I could find is here:
https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/plasma-workspace/kcontrol/colors/index.html

There is a chance that the settings on top: "[ColorEffects:Disabled]" and
"[ColorEffects:Inactive]" might have some effect on the scrollbar but I doubt
it.

There is an option to create a new style (but that would mean forking Fusion, I
think? Probably bundling Breeze would be way less invasive and there is a good
reason why we don't do that), or apply a stylesheet (but in that case we
wouldn't be able to use themes). We could possibly patch Fusion for our own
builds, or maybe replace all scrollbars with a custom one with a custom
painting process.

Not sure if the effort is worth it. I've seen people complaining about this
before so it does seem to be at least partially an issue, but whether or what
we should do about this is another matter. 

Maybe we should downgrade it to a wishlist, too. The slider is not unusable,
and one can use Krita Bright theme for better contrast.
