"native" scrollbars don't rotate
 
|
Hi,
I was playing with the PartsBinBrowser in http://lively-kernel.org/repository/webwerkstatt/documentation/7funthings.xhtml and if I rotate the window the vertical scrollbar disappears (in Chrome 15.0.874.106 m on Windows Vista).
Probably because the scrollbar is "native". Is that a know "bug"? Is there a way to "ban" native scroll-bars everywhere in lively kernel? Cheers, Davide Della Casa

Hi, Davide
its a browser bug, also scaling lets parts of the scrollbar disappear. Best, Jens On 09.11.2011, at 13:12, Davide Della Casa wrote: Hi, _______________________________________________ lively-kernel mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/listinfo/lively-kernel |

Can we get LK to draw its own scrollbars rather than relying on the native ones? Seems to me like most of the other UI elements are custom-painted anyways. D

Hi, In Lively 2 we have gone the path of reusing as much as the browser can provide us as possible. Making the system more vulnerable to browser bugs but also it saved work, speeded things up, and make it look more like normal web applications.

Hi -
it could be possible to paint lightweight (non-native) scrollbars for texts, lists etc. and make the native ones disappear without losing the benefits of native text rendering. To me that would actually make sense given that (a) many browsers have rendering issues with scrollbars in LK and (b) the current scrollbar _behavior_ is completely customized, anyway. If anyone is interested in giving that a try, I'd appreciate it a lot. I guess that you need some knowledge about scrolling-related CSS properties, the desired behavior (see http://lively-kernel.org/repository/webwerkstatt/specs/Scrolling.xhtml and core/lively/morphic/Events.js, esp. ScrollableTrait) and then some good idea of how to paint a new scrollbar into a text's morphNode. A POC would be cool. I have some higher priority items in my backlog right now, but I'd be happy to help.
