Horizontal scrollbar

Post by chaseychasem »

It appears I'm not the only user who wishes the horizontal scrollbar could be done away with, whether via a menu toggle or manual column resizing:

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3360&p=14990&hilit= ... tal#p14990
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2885&hilit=horizontal#p12899

The Bookends UI is looking better than ever (to my mind this has been the sole significant weakness of the program), but for those of us who use a trackpad in particular, making this possible could really improve usability. Currently there's a regular wobble for me on account of the superfluous horizontal scrollbar, which frankly seems quite silly beneath miles of blank column space on a larger display. Surely there's a way to code this?

Actually, there isn't an easy way while the scrollbar is functional. I could make it an Action gear or right-click option to hide/show the horizontal scrollbar, though.

P.S. The UI makeover is almost complete -- it will be in the next release.
