[expert] Very nice Evolution GUI feature

2002-06-02 Thread Damon Lynch

I didn't even notice till now that Evolution panes can be easily
scrolled with a wheelmouse.  That is, just move your mouse over one of
the panes, and the contents can be scrolled via the wheel without
selecting anything.  The window itself doesn't have to be selected.  In
some other programs I've used, which I cannot recall off the top of my
head, the user actually had to select something in the pane to scroll
the whole pane.  The Evolution way of doing it is more intuitive and
certainly more convenient.

I'm not sure if this is standard to all Gnome or KDE programs, but it's
cool!

It's a standard feature in GTK+ and QT. Mouse 'helper' apps like imwheel (which
Mandrake installs by default in 8.1 and below) can mess this up.
