Re: Scrollbars.

[Gregory John Casamento]

Renaud,

First of all, you're taking the discussion way to personally.  Secondly, you 
don't seem too objective yourself, either, so I'm not sure you're one to talk 
about new features being advances or not, since you obviously have a particular 
preference.

I would suggest that, if you're so interested in having the scrollbars on the 
right, that you write a theme which does this for Camaelon. 
 
Later, GJC

First of all, do you really think i'm so stupid i didn't know that  
there are systems with right scrollbars that are more than 10 year  
old? This is not a counter argument, you're only trying to shut me up.
Secondly, who are you to consider some new features are advances and  
others not? You are definitely not objective.

I never said that left scrollbars are bad because they're 10 year  
old, and personally i don't care about it, when i read the mail  
asking for right side scrollbars, i just thought "hey, but they're  
already on the right side" and checked and realized they're not.

It's not about the age of features, the computer window concept is  
more than 20 year old and it is still the best i think.
The question is:

What is the use of copying the "graphical" look and behaviour of  
something that is 10year old.
It's all about design, style etc...
The use people makes of things changes with the time, and what was  
considered great in the past can be considered not that great after all.
There are hundreds of examples.
