Description

From https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/pull/3901#discussion_r614282274:

question: Can we set the scrollbar shadow to dark everywhere when using dark theme to avoid having scrollbars pop up when having scrollbars visible? See css-scrollbar.

this is only shown when you have scrollbars always enabled, see relevant docs. Running macOS 10.15.7. See also relevant article on scrollbars. 👀

Research direction

Start with the discussion in pull request #3901 and the linked css-scrollbar reference, then locate the dashboard's dark-theme scrollbar styles. Done means scrollbars remain visually integrated with the dark theme instead of appearing bright when always-visible scrollbars are enabled.
