This is a good idea too. Especially in light of the alternate design
proposed by  Emanuele...let's try to integrate all these ideas.

Definetly not the best solution. I am recomending also a carrousel pane,

Re: Website: decorating the scrollpanes

2014-07-12 Thread Alexandro Colorado
I think the scrollbar is fine, it helps keep the content from
overflowing the design of the page. That said, I think the nested
scrollbars do not serve any porpouse at all. However I presented a
better solution without abusing the scrollbar functionality and maybe
increasing the attractiveness of the homepage.

Definetly not the best solution. I am recomending also a carrousel pane,
