Indeed, tiny scroll bars make it impossible to use a touch screen.
If you really want your app to be ergonomic, make sure it works with one and two finger gestures, such as dragging a finger to scroll.
- karmakaze 2y agoTouch screens should support two-finger drag scrolling which is a much bigger hit-target than any scrollbar.
- zeta0134 2y agoSure, but I can grab the scroll handle and yank it down to 75% instantly. How much superfluous motion do I have to endure on a long page to even find 75%? Can I see how far along I am on the page with the invisible scroll bar that barely renders anything? Is the rendering of its overall progress consistent between applications, if not completely broken? The boring, "ugly" built-in OS widget works extremely well. Every attempt to replace it with something better for one use case inevitably throws out a dozen others that the designer didn't think about.
- wtallis 2y agoYou should be able to click at 75% on the scroll bar and immediately jump there, no grab and drag needed. MacOS still offers this option, but apps that reinvent the scroll bar never respect this system-wide setting.
