Even on my smaller than average 1280x1080 monitor, the top of the screen can be a long way from the current mouse position - notice that Fitts Law factors in that Distance.
(And as you've brought up Fitts Law, think about what that says about the very much smaller target provided by those Unity overlay scroll thumbs compared to a window size scrollbar.)
- jamesgeck0 16y agoThe scroll thumbs actually have about the same area as the scrollbar. Maybe larger, because the little tab pops up under wherever the mouse is, so you don't need to seek for it vertically like with a normal scrollbar. In theory. In practice, they're too fiddly, sometimes appearing on the inside, sometimes on the outside, and requiring you to move your mouse in and out of the window frame. If they get that sorted, they'll be on par with (if not better than) normal scrollbars, imho.
