I am finally back in the world of Macintosh and now realize the scroll bar arrows are gone? Usually it's not a big deal, but I used them a lot with Audacity for my podcast. It made drilling down to detail a lot easier. Has anyone found a way around this with an extension or a hard to find preference in the settings in the OS? Otherwise, it's good to be back! It will be better when/if Voicemeeter has a Mac version, but that's a different topic. :)
Thanks

Scrollbar arrows were discontinued starting with Mac OS X Lion (10.7), unfortunately I don't know of a way to restore a similar likeness. :\

However, you can have the scrollbar set to always be on (display), this can be achieved by going to System Preferences > General > Show Scroll Bars (always). That doesn't bring back the arrows proper, but definitely helps with visibility.

Welcome back to the world of the Macintosh, by the way! :)

Thank you. I hope someday someone can make an extension :) I'm surprised more people haven't complained.
