Description: This is kinda a lame little hack to the Aurora engine to remove the scrollbar trough gradient. This patch doesn't add any features... I just commented out a couple lines. It looks okay with all "pure" Aurora themes (see first screenshot)... You might want to use GtkRange::trough-border=1 (at least) in gtkrc. I actually did this to make it look better with Clearlooks themes (see second screenshot).
To apply: tar xfz aurora-1.4.tar.gz cd aurora-1.4 patch -p1 < ../aurora-flat_scrollbar_trough.patch
Recompile: ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-animation make make install (or checkinstall for deb users)
Thanks! Unfortunately I don't have the time to implement this correctly, so I can't actually submit this. It was a quick fix for me. I really liked the results... So I'm hoping someone else will be interested, and do it right.

This is a cool hack, hopefully it gets added upstream as an option

Very cool idea. That gave me an inspiration :) - I just added that feature as an engine-option to my excelsior.
Nice.. i'm going to try it out :)
