It would be great if the scrollbar could be changed to an overlay scrollbar, similar to the current gnome-console/tilix etc. This would remove the ugliness of having the scrollbar always visible.

According to VTE docs:

Note that altough VteTerminal implements the GtkScrollable interface, you should not place a VteTerminal inside a GtkScrolledWindow container, since they are incompatible. Instead, pack the terminal in a horizontal GtkBox together with a GtkScrollbar which uses the GtkAdjustment returned from gtk_scrollable_get_vadjustment().

That's why you don't see overlay scrollbar in GNOME Terminal too.

However, Console seems to have an overlay scrollbar - maybe it will be possible after Gtk 4 migration (GNOME 45).
