powerful scrollbar buttons

powerful scrollbar buttons

Description:

i think the scrollbars are really worth to rethink them
the arrow-buttons are quite primitive and annoying actually

i think two mighty buttons could replace them totally and would give a nicer scrolling in every app

the first button is just like the 'hand-tool' of many other programs
you drag it and it shifts the 'page' up or down or left or right just as you move the mouse

the secound button is for 'accelated scrolling'
when you drag it, it scrolls continuous in the direction

with these two things you can choose between high precision and high speed scrolling
both buttons are freezing the mouse-cursor on its position until they are pressed

there could be various keyboard-combos, with [shift] it could just scroll horizontally xor vertically, for example

maybe the old buttons should be also on by default, so newbies are not forced to use the new ones

sorry for this childish 'screenshot', i like childish stuff ;)

So, that is like dragging the bar itself, isn't it?

I would like kde apps to have "the hand" option, when you click it (just as in pdf viewers) you drag whatever the window contains :) (and I think it is supposed to work similar to my idea - am I right?)


PLD rulez :D

yeah, you're right :)
an example for the 'accelator' you can find in the middle-click-scrolling of ms internet exploiter..

 Old Way Works

The old way works just fine. The arrows are for scrolling up or down one line. The click on the space between the arrows and thumb, and you scroll up and down one page. Click and drag the thumb and you can scroll up and down as far as you want. All options are available. No need to throw away a widget that everyone is familiar with, for something that a few will benefit from at the expense of everyone else.

well.. i don't really see the expense you are talking of

i think it would be very intuitive when you tried it once

the actual buttons are perfect for scrolling one line, on every other situation it is not optimal

but they are for relative movement, which is important because the rest of the scrollbar does only make 'absolute' movements (it's even a little more complex because the thingy cou can drag repesents the part of the whole what is shown)

the things that i'm introducing here are not really buttons, they are kinda 'dragging' areas where you can make 1- or 2-dimensional movements, and with the feeling for this it can do a lot more

i should correct this in my suggestion

I think this could be added as an option, but not as default. Because it should be hard to use for new users.
