I think you also need
user_pref("widget.gtk.overlay-scrollbars.enabled", false);
and this is also nice
user_pref("widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override", 20);

I think vim is really nice :)
But that's probably not what you want to know, so what I did was to
start with the release tarball from
https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95
unpack it into my home directory and
mv ~/Templates/Chicago95-2.0.1/Theme/Chicago95/gtk-2.0
/usr/share/themes/Chicago95/
mv ~/Templates/Chicago95-2.0.1/Theme/Chicago95/gtk-3.0
/usr/share/themes/Chicago95/
>From there I can select the Chicago95 theme as any user and if there's
anything I don't like I can, once I figure out wtf needs to be changed
(which can be a non-trivial task for me), make the change.
