Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad that you like it. Scrolling on the seek bar will be a good addition to the gesture options. We already have scrolling inside the video player to change the volume and scrolling on a Slider is not an expected interaction defined by WinUI. I think this gesture should be off by default to avoid confusion. Other than that, I'm all in for this feature.

Gestures in the app are used like "press and hold left mouse button and then sliding."

What I want is scrolling using the mouse scroll wheel, so that I can place the cursor on anywhere on seekbar and scroll back and forth without going to the current playhead.

I don't know if I'm able to explain this properly or not, but I'll attach the video soon.

I used scroll wheel of mouse for the scrolling purpose. I hope I was able to explain it properly.

TBH, while it can be useful to someone, I wouldn't introduce this option (at least by default). Two competing vertical scrolls on the same page isn't ideal (and not recommended iirc).

Fine by me. As long as option is available.

But Doesn't VLC have this functionality! vertical scrolling on playback area and vertical scrolling on seekbar are two different things. How's that competing?

Yeah. Having the ability to customize the gestures, that would be great.

I mean... VLC is not the paramou....

Jokes aside, the guidelines are clear in avoiding having scroll-able content in the same axis/direction.
