The scrollbars in Unity are of very low contrast, and I can't see where the bar is using just peripheral vision. I have to look at the scrollbar.
Look at Mac OS X interface and notice the blue, contrasting scroll bar. You don't need to look at it directly to have the idea where you are in the page.
How can I change it so that it has more contrast and I see where I am every time?

A bit late, but perhaps I've found a quite nice, easy GUI solution:
gnome-color-chooser
Highlights:
~/.gtkrc
Apply
. No need to switch themes back and forthThe changes are quite unobtrusive: it edits (or creates)
~/.gtkrc
to include its own config file:And that file is pretty slim too:
Btw, I've picked the above colors out of experiments. They blend in nicely with Ambiance's "monochrome-ish" style, being just a bit darker (and thus more visible) than default.
Until Firefox gets overlay scrollbars, I'm quite happy with my custom colors :)
