Decorated views to have an option for the type of default scroll bars

Open xandark opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

For the Decorated View, there are vertical and horizontal scrollbars by default. Could there be a switch argument or a new set of Decorated Views that can specify which scrollbars to have/omit?

For example, in the Applesoft demo that comes with WeeGUI, the text box only scrolls up and down and the horizontal scroll is not used; it takes up a row of the screen, which goes unused; and becomes cognitive junk that needs to be ignored. It seems that this kind of case, which may possibly be the most common kind of usage(??), would benefit from having only a vertical scroll bar.

As a comparison, the Palm Pilot interface, which was also space-constrained, had in 99% of the cases that I can think of, only vertical scroll bars for its functionality.

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, that could be done. It would take some effort, because the scrollbar system is pretty tightly coupled with the mouse tracking. However, I agree it is something that should be done in a future patch.
