Steps to reproduce

I changed system value of scrollbar's height and width. By default they were 17px. I changed to 8px. But in the Microsoft terminal still 17px.

Expected Behavior

After changing scrollbars style system wide, should be changed in the Microsoft terminal too.

Actual Behavior

Scrollbars style (height,width) not same with system value.

How did you change the scrollbar width?

Does the new scrollbar width apply to any scrollbars in UWP XAML Apps? The Xaml Controls Gallery is a great example.

I'm guessing this is a WinUI issue, but I'd love to know more details.

I'll throw this out there:

I looked up "how to change Windows scrollbar width." The only results started with either "open regedit" or "launch WinAero" (which will just... edit the registry)

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this just isn't a supported scenario since Windows removed the customization options for scrollbar size.
