Here is another repost for the automatic enhancement capture page! ;-)
>>I've posted the complete scrollbar enhancement at:
>>http://world.std.com/~carlg/scrloptimiz.18Feb1054pm.cs
>>
>>Here's the preamble text:
>>This enhancement to Morphic popup scrollbars optimizes for slow
>hardware
>>by displaying scrollbars only for panes which can be scrolled. This
>>eliminates some of the choppy feel of the UI for slow computers.
There
>>is also a new preference entry called optimizeMorphicScrollbars.
>>
>>It only works under Morphic, but MVC performs well enough that it
isn't
>>really needed there. I also added a Preferences entry to turn the
>>feature on/off (default is off).
