CreamK 8 months agoXP seems to be the best functionally. Pre-lion OSX would be better but that “logic” of aiming your mouse to bottom to get to that upwards arrow is just idiotic. But it works otherwise, it’s easy to grab and visually clear. Just move that up-arrow to top and its perfect… iOS and lion OSX is just too thin, it’s not clear, it’s hard to aim to….Scrollbar is not just indication, its a tool to make a lot of pointer devices compatible.
