If it does not go against current design focus, I think that the orange bar could be made thinner (but still easy to see). Also I'm wondering the thumb could be made to appear via mouse pressure when the window is maximized, that is, in the same way you make the Launcher visible when set to auto-hide.
This may be a simplistic solution, I don't know if makes sense. The orange bar needs to be thinner (or to have a space of its own) because, at least currently with Gtk+ and stuff, it obscures content (e.g. it is drawn over the contents of gedit or evince); this is particularly bad when the content contains small artifacts next to the window borders (e.g. the related left-to-right languages bug). The thumb being made visible via pressure I am not sure, but it would help with maximize window issue, not sure if it would introduce other more annoying problems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to overlay-scrollbar in Ubuntu.

Vertical bars appear to the right and horizontal bars appear below. This is not the case with maximised windows, and the scrollbars will obscure the content in this situation.
