Yes, it is a bit small, that's true ... but better than nothing :-) I thought a bit about this issue, and I came to the conclusion that a triangle might be better - but then it equals most of the scrollbar icons. Thus, a triangle with a stroke above might be the right approach. Usually, it is used for cd players, media players, ... to indicate "skip until <something>". So, this might work - if available.

True, maybe I wasn't that clear - I wasn't specifically referring to its size, but to its position. Applying them to a corner still does not solve (for most window sizes) the "a corner can easily be reached via mouse movement without looking at the screen"-idea. Therefore I proposed to let it appear more or less in-between the site content area, and the edge of the browser window. But, it may look strange, so the showing it in a corner might be rather unobtrusive. > I now changed it to be at top-right instead of bottom-right, so you > get a feeling for it. Cool, thanks!
