I like how the Mac OS X Lion scrollbar removes most of the functionality, and had me wondering for a second "how do I use this?"
Would someone care to explain to me what Apple's design philosophy is, and how it makes any sense whatsoever? To me it is "Make things minimalist until they become unusable, then hide them" but surely that can't be all there is
- sherry-sherry 3y agoThe website incorrectly represents it. Since Lion, how the macOS scrollbar/position looks depends on your input device. By default if you are using a regular mouse, the scrollbar is displayed with a light-gray marker for the current position (much like the Windows 10 example to the right). If you are using a multi-touch input device (Magic Mouse or Trackpad), the scrollbar is hidden entirely by default. This includes the space or 'track' left for it, the scrollbar just appears as a floating bar when you start scrolling. You can change this via settings to always show track and position.
