Off/On Setting for Display Scroll Bars

[Scott Hopkins]

Screen Real-estate - you can never have enough. I would like the ability to turn off the scroll bars in the display since I never use them to navigate around.

Good point! I never use them either.

Still think this is a valid wish. Maybe I am the only guy still working an a 17" CRT monitor - I need every inch of screen real estate that I can get,

Now that you mention it (for the first time to me, that is), there are many programs out there that have scroll bars for no good reason...AutoCAD is the first one that comes to mind. I don't use them even in Photoshop (space bar panning) and rarely in Internet Explorer (Firefox at home). These should be an option more often...

add my vote. have never used them in acad or revit

Scroll wheel pan is really all I need....no need for scroll bars. Scroll bars are soooo Windows 3.1....:)

...ah - but you'll need them for your tablet computer. Seriously, Revit was designed to consider a future tablet interface (I asked at the fatory about some of the UI things...) The Dynamically Modify View Icon? Who really uses that with a wheel mouse? Wel,l put Revit on a tablet and you needed it.

...still a good case for making them an OPTION instead of an EVER-PRESENT SPACE-FILLER.

Got to play with Steve's Wacom tablet last night....very cool! I could get used to that! Still used the pan by holding Shift, and then pointing and clicking on the screen....didnt used the scroll bars. But I could see where they might be needed.
