I love it! Always liked how google made this kind of scrollbars for Picasa etc... but this is even better!

It's easier to use than I thought... but you don't explain the middle-click ("go here") and right-click (start/end menu) functionality the script has.

10 bucks Apple does this before Microsoft.

What an awesome idea... I hope future operating systems start using something like this rather than the existing archaic scroll bars.

Interesting idea. Not sure if it's really necessary, now that most people have scroll on their mice and/or trackpads, but the functionality at very small sizes is a big plus.

Generally, the only thing I ever use a scroll bar for is to click at some point for the "Jump to here" feature (System Preferences > Appearance in Mac OS X).

Nice! Now we can make scrollbars that are only a few pixels wide, instead of the fat ones we have today. Would work wonders for people with 640x480 ^_^

Hm, I don't know if this really helps. Maybe I should try the demo, but I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable with moving controls. I like them to stick somewhere where I can find them.

Anyways, good to see this demonstration as a movie and not plain text. ;-)

Because OS X is a system that "normal" people can use without having to fiddle around. And of course because you actually have software that is able to be used in a pro enviroment ( and I do am not talking about simply "Office Docs" )

I like it .. the old functionality is still there, but it is an advancement.
