HEAR, HEAR! We have super duper extra wide monitors so why stick a bunch of scrollbars in all that never used horizontal space!
Scrollbars, toolbars, docks, app switchers, app launchers. Use the width.
Unless there is a functional reason, make controls vertical.
MS’s 21st century design shows it’s lost the plot.
Example #1: the Office Ribbon is an example of a broken design, because it can’t be moved to vertical. The old toolbars could. They didn’t know how to use their own product’s older versions.
(LibreOffice’s ribbon can be vertical. It works fine that way.)
Example #2: Now, Win11’s taskbar has been updated so it can be vertical again, showing the developers didn’t know how to use the old tool. So the copy is a poor, half-broken one.
Counter-example: I used GNUstep’s NeXT-style vertical menu bars. They don’t work very well IMHO.
Acorn’s RISC OS ones work superbly.
NeXT borrowed the Dock idea from RISC OS, & did it better. But for menus, they did it worse, IMHO.

I am so down for chibi analog nowhere.

I miss the old scroll bars. I was scrolling on a recipe website and while there was a bar on the side it was so slim and streamlined I had to squint to find it!
I think
I might just be old
compounding the issue is that there’s no guarantee that the miniature scroll bar on the right side is actually usable, it’s often just a visual indicator. but it’s so goddamn small that even if you try to use it you can’t be sure that you’re not just hitting the pixel next to it
So often I go to click it, and click elsewhere then the page zooms and I have to scroll around frantically trying to find where I was again.
you’re not alone!
Libre Writer, an app literally designed around scrolling, uses a mobile style scroll bar on Desktop and it infuriates me. Want to scan 25 pages by holding the down button? Tough shit.
That sounds pretty dumb!
I was lamenting to my partner recently, my extreme disappointment in the sudden vanishing of the Scroll Bar. Love this.
my pleasure
Thank you for inventing doooomscrolling! I will be sure to do it a lot.
No problem!
You open a new tab and search inside. ... Inside you find 32 doomscrolls.Thinking of Maud you forget everything else.
Thank you for forgetful content!
Doom scrolling specifically calls for no scroll bar since it’s infinite.
There can always be a scrollbar. It goes to the bottom, then bounces up when more engaging content has been loaded for consumption.
Oh yeah fair enough, it’s rare enough that I forgot about it!

What else am I gonna do with it?
I’ll have to ask my AI accountant. Is rouble a stablecoin?
russian ruble?
Oh no, I wouldn’t trust that, these ones say приднестровский рубль
belarus obviously, nobody invests in russian ruble anymore (although the new trend is polish zloty)
I miss the old polish zloty.
I just used one!
Awesome!
Thank you for creating nostalgic content
no problem!
That does not look like a firefox scrollbar.
That depends on your gtk theme
