But completely ignore Fitt's Law. Usually I can speed my mouse to the right of the screen, click, drag. Here I speed to the right of the screen, maybe try clicking and dragging, fail, move in 30 pixels, overshoot, move back and finally can scroll.*
The problem with allowing the customisation of scrollbars is that most people are going to make them worse.
* Personally I use the scroll wheel, but I know a lot of people who don't.
- mnutt 15y agoI'll bet he could widen the target area while still retaining the original design.
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoTo what gain? Custom scrollbars are unnecessary on this page. It makes sense on a scrollable div with lots of content around it; big fat default scrollbars are distracting in that scenario. But this page is a document. It breaks the expectations of the user (what is this thin line on the right of the screen and why can't I see the rest of the document?).
- alexmuller 15y agoVery true! I'd probably make them flush with the right edge and slightly wider, based on that.
