No doubt both OP and iTunes have their reasons for screwing around with the scroll bars. They just aren't good reasons. Guys, you are way off-topic, and you are offending me. Of course I have good reasons for wanting to do this. Trust me, I'm not tampering with user defaults for the sheer fun

Uh, the double both variant isn't available in the GUI, so why would you ever complain about an application not supporting it? It's never been an official option, just available via an undocumented preference value. The bottom line that you're veering away from is that this guy wants to

Override AppleScrollBarVariant on NSScroller?

2008-04-09 Thread slasktrattenator
Hi, I'm looking for a way to override the user's AppleScrollBarVariant setting, and force the arrows on my custom NSScroller to be displayed at both ends of the scroller. The documentation has no mentioning of this. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks. F.

I believe one normally does this system-wide via the user defaults. I suspect that setting such a default for your app only may do the trick. Not that I've actually tested it - try it and see! :) On 9 Apr 2008, at 23:12, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I'm looking for a way to override the

I hope it isn't possible. I don't really want applications actively ignoring my scroll bar setting and enforcing its own. I prefer them at one end, together, at bottom. If suddenly one or two of my apps are different, it's going to drive me batty as I switch around between apps, and those
