Windows 11 hides scroll bars by default to keep the interface clean, but a simple accessibility toggle lets you restore permanently visible scroll bars for faster, less jittery navigation—especially useful when scanning long lists, working with spreadsheets, or using touchpads and touchscreens...
Chrome Canary’s overlay scrollbars will now flash selectively — only when a scrollbar first appears in view or when the mouse actually hovers over it — reducing the distracting, page‑wide flicker users have complained about for years. This behavior is exposed in Canary behind a new experimental...

When Windows 11 first arrived, its unapologetic embrace of minimalism and fresh design language divided the user base. Tweaks to the taskbar, Start menu, context menus, and File Explorer meant that even seasoned Windows 10 users faced a distinctly new—and for many, unfamiliar—environment. For...

I'm not sure of the correct terminology here as Microsoft keeps changing it and well, I tend to think in terms used by Apple in GS/OS (the Apple IIGS operating system, although very similar to the Mac's System 6.0.8) back on my first computer.
On the scrollbar is a shaded region that shows...
Hello all,
For some time now, my scroll bar had changed and became too thin. So all I could get from the web to solve this problem was to check all the drivers in windows 10. I pulled up device manager and I was about 10 to 15% from the top of the list when I came to: "Human...
Hi,
Ive had a problem when installing full glass themes in the past with the pop out window in programs remaining non transparent or not taking the full glass effect of the theme. Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it so it goes transparent like the rest of the theme? And there is the...

My Windows 7 taskbar is 'hidden' in that it only appears if I move my mouse pointer to the area where it would normally be (the bottom of the screen). Under normal circumstances, this is how I want it. However, there are times when I need to access the lateral scroll bar at the bottom of the...
I just got a new PC with Windows 7 installed and have run into this issue twice, both times with a particular folder - let's call it "UsefulDocuments2" (the actual folder name DOES have a 2 at the end, but there is no folder called "UsefulDocuments").
Sometimes, when I try to view the folder...
Previously on Visual Studio Toolbox, we started looking at the Productivity Power Tools. In this episode, we explore additional features of this excellent extension. We will see enhancements to the Document Tab Well that make it easier to work with code files, and we'll take a look at both the...
We're still waiting for Microsoft to blow us away with its strategy for tablet domination but, thanks to the latest build of Windows 8 to drip through onto the internets, we have yet another indicator that the company's hopes rely on that OS. Of course we already know that it'll run on ARM...
Hey everyone, this is my first post here, but I've always been a big customizer and registry hacker. I have gotten to the limit of my experimentation, and I can't seem to figure out some things that I am wanting to do. First, I want to change the scrollbar in windows 7 from the boring default...
I am sorely missing a horizontal scrollbar in the the windows explorer folder pane.
Isn't there a way to get one?

I'm working with 7 Pro.
I've had my start menu setup in such a way since Win95 and I'm trying to accomplish the same thing here in 7.
Rather than having multiple folders off to the right side of the start menu I've always listed all of my programs above the divider on the left. Above shutdown...
I have moved my taskbar to the right hand side of my screen to make up for the inability to create additional toobars. But now whenever I reach for a scrollbar the damn taskbar slides out.
Can it be set to NOT.. Always on top?

Every time I click on a gray scrollbar and drag to scroll, Windows 7 freezes. I notice this most in explorer (first happened in control panel), and it seemed to be just a problem with any scrollbar in explorer, but then it happened in OpenOffice too. In Firefox however, there doesn't seem to...
I really love the new taskbar and being able to pin items to it. And I've noticed that if you have too many items pinned you will get a scrollbar that enables you to switch between the two sets of icons. I thought that it was pretty cool and figured that I should make one set of taskbar icons...
