Hi Malte, I have no idea where you could get this data, so here's what I could find in LiveCode itself: - the Dictionary entry for property 'scrollbarWidth' claims to have default values of 16 pixels for MacOS and 20 pixels on Linux/Windows - the Data Grid applies 15 pixels on MacOS, 16 pixels on Linux, and checks the registry on Windows (with a default value of 17 pixels if it's not allowed to read the registry). - the Tools palette applies the values set in the Preferences - Object Sizes panel.
If you ever find a way to extract gnome-control-center information on Linux via shell calls, make sure to let me know as I'd love to find the theme colors data :-) HTH, Jan Schenkel. ===== Quartam Reports & PDF Library for LiveCode www.quartam.com ===== "As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time."

Can this be figured out by script? It appears that under UBUNTU this would be 14 Pixels. Is there a difference between Windowmanagers?
