Title:
Scroll Bar Width is Too Narrow - Uneasily Adjustable

Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser:
Invalid
Status in “ubuntu-themes” package in Ubuntu:
New

Bug description:
I've been using the Internet since 1993 before and during the first
year browsers came out. Back then the scroll bars seemed as wide as
your finger.

As time has gone on, screen resolutions have continue to increase, but
each time this happens the browsers scroll bar gets more and more
narrow on the screen. It seems to maintain its pixel width, but at
higher resolutions its physical width continues to narrow.

At this point, I find myself wanting to enjoy higher resolutions, but
at the same time, I want things to be bigger at those higher
resolutions.

It has finally gotten to the point, that I find the width of scroll bars too
narrow, requiring too fine-grained of a mouse-control-effort for simple web
page navigation, such as:
1) Clicking the scroll-bar's up button
2) Clicking the scroll-bar's down button
3) Dragging the scroll-bar's slider.

Although a scroll-wheel is a helpful workaround, it remains an issue
that the scroll-bar itself continues to require ever increasing fine-
grained-effort to use. It is finally gotten to the point that I
consider it a cumbersome control.

I suggest doubling its size by default in future updates and releases
of Firefox. Or at lease making the scroll-bar easy to scale-adjust its
size (without the user having to understand CSS style sheet
modification). Perhaps it would be good to make the scroll-bar right-
clickable and providing a Adjust Width option in its context menu.

Many desktop applications could learn a thing or two from touch screen
interfaces. Notice how bluntly (widely) they make their buttons and
selectable options. They do it out of necessity because they know a
person is going to be using their finger to select that option.
However, even with a mouse, the bigger something is, the easier it is
to select. Just because a mouse-cursor comes to a fine point, doesn't
mean that controls ought to be barely bigger than that point.

I believe we have finally crossed a threshold. While before, we've
always been trying to maximize the browser's screen real estate, now
we've got plenty of width at higher resolutions, and it is time to
increase the width of scrollbars and make them require less fine-
grained-mouse-control-effort to use.

2012-11-16 Thread Lonnie Lee Best

What theme are you referring to?

The upstream report says that firefox is happy to oblige any scroll-bar
width prescribed by the OS theme.

My scroll-bar is the same size yours is. I'm a user who is not alone in
thinking that the default width is too small.

Where in Ubuntu can you change the scroll bar widths? Compiz? No. Unity?
No. Firefox? No.

Firefox says its a operating system's job to set such things. Isn't
compiz the window manager? Shouldn't it provide a setting for modifying
this? Or is it Unity? Where in Ubuntu?

See solution 2:
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/29104

Wouldn't this give me the customization to adjust scrollbar width in
not only Firefox, but all applications?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1077559] Re: Scroll Bar Width is Too Narrow Uneasily Adjustable

2012-11-10 Thread Lonnie Lee Best

** Description changed:

I've been using the Internet since 1993 before and during the first year
browsers came out. Back then the scroll bars seemed as wide as your
finger.

As time has gone on, screen resolutions have continue to increase, but
each time this happens the browsers scroll bar gets more and more narrow
on the screen. It seems to maintain its pixel width, but at higher
resolutions its physical width continues to narrow.

At this point, I find myself wanting to enjoy higher resolutions, but at
the same time, I want things to be bigger at those higher resolutions.

I suggest doubling its size by default in future updates and releases of
Firefox. Or at lease making the scroll-bar easy to scale-adjust its size
(without the user having to understand CSS style sheet modification).
Perhaps it would be good to make the scroll-bar right-clickable and
providing a Adjust Width option in its context menu.

Many desktop applications could learn a thing or two from touch screen
interfaces. Notice how bluntly (widely) they make their buttons and
selectable options. They do it out of necessity because they know a
person is going to be using their finger to select that option. However,
even with a mouse, the bigger something is, the easier it is to select.
Just because a mouse-cursor comes to a fine point, doesn't mean that
controls ought to be barely bigger than that point.
