Description Kuba Ober 2004-01-02 14:43:13 UTC
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:          Linux

There was one nice feature I really liked in Borland's text mode interface classes: the scrollbars were displayed only when the widget needing them was in focus.

I thus propose following alternatively selectable behaviours that would apply to all scrollbar-able K-widgets:

- make scrollbars always visible (as it is now)
- make scrollbars display only in widgets that have focus,
- make scrollbars display only in widgets in which the mouse pointer falls currently ("virtual" focus follows mouse w/o changing the actual focus)

This would be beneficial for small screens. I don't know whether it could be implemented in K-widgets only, or if it needs some more general infrastructure in Qt-copy.
