    Scroll (heh) to the very bottom of the article and it explains how.

  Now I'm really confused, when does MacOS decide to hide scrollbars? Only when you're using a touchpad?
  • rkapsoro 6y ago
    It depends on which pointing device you have installed.
    • bradstewart 6y ago
      This is the kicker, thanks. I'm using a (non-Apple) mouse and changing the settings didn't seem to have any effect.

        You should still be able to make it disappear if you change it to "When scrolling".

      I tried that setting before and it doesn't seem to do a thing when you have both types of devices connected. I keep a touchpad on the left and a mouse on the right (had the extra hardware then got used to the config), plus the one on the laptop itself, and they're hidden with the "Auto" setting.

    On auto it seems to show up as you scroll only, acting as more of a scroll indicator than an interactive element.
