Default [Patch] Scrollbar in Browser

This patch adds in a 2 pixel wide scrollbar in the browser. It appears when you start scrolling or moving the page and disappears after 2 seconds of idle time.

As far as I can tell this should be compatible with other patches. xanthinealkaloid is reporting that this patch should work with the browser multimod patch.

This works in portrait and landscape mode.

Like any other patch, use this at your own risk.

You can see the scrollbar in the screenshot on the right side of the web page. The white box is the scrolling "indicator". The black line is the whole scrollbar.

This works by flicking to scroll or by scrolling using the gesture area in landscape mode.




NOTE: THIS VERSION IS OLD. GET THE NEW ONE WITH THE HORIZONTAL SCROLLBAR HERE:

Do you mean when you flick the gesture area to scroll? Yes, the bar appears when you scroll using the gesture area.

Great work dude, I still can't believe we're the same age and you're doing all this cool stuff.

I'll confirm...It's compatible with the Browser Multi Mod patch.

It's definitely a keeper...perfect implementation.

I noticed the indicator doesn't go all the way to the bottom in portrait...It not a huge problem...I'm just curious, if this is only me.

No, not just you. It is because you can actually scroll all the way to the bottom of the browser (there has to be something on the screen). I can definitely compensate for this tomorrow, but I need to go to bed

No horizontal scroll bar at all, but when you zoom in it correctly moves on the scroll bar vertically.

Glad everyone likes it I will definitely work on improving this tomorrow (horizontal scrollbar, etc)

No big deal at all...As most people probably do, I browse mostly in landscape anyway.

The cool thing is how it looks like it belongs, i.e. it feels like a native part of the browser.

this is great now all we need is a quick way to get back to the top (similar to the iphone's double tap on top of screen if I recall) unless one has been made already?

Cool, I'll try it. Yeah, I'd love a quick scroll to the top patch too.
