I gave this a try, and I love it. The normal functionality of clicking
on the scrolling thing and moving it is preserved, along with using
the scrollwheel in the scrollbar, so no usability is lost.
I see this as a really big hit with touchscreen devices also. Being

Has anyone got a link to a discussion on this issue with GTK?
It's really time we started trying out and pushing NEW ideas, rather than
sticking with the same old.

I must admit, on a l
I think there's little chance we'll be diverging from upstream GTK on
a component as important as this. I suggest you take this concept
straight to GTK.

Hi Thorsten!
You've probably noticed this already, but I find it hard to grab the
'bar' if my mouse is already in the trough. I have to move the mouse off
of the trough and then back on where the bar is. I know it's not
necessary to grab the bar, and also that one can drag after clicking an
arrow

I'm simply frustrated with Ubuntu's lack of contrast on the side bar.
It's hard to see where the actual scrollbar is compared to the
background when its held against a black monitor.

I like it. If I understand it correctly, instead of having to find the
actual bar, you can left-click anywhere on the scrollbar area, and move the
scrollbar up and down as if you actually clicking on the scrollbar.
