2012? Elder? Cmon, it wasn’t that long ago… wait… no…
I like how they added some grip between 2001 - 2009 so you would have some traction when you used then
I love how 1998 looks. It is clean and servers the purpose. 2001-2009 feel over designed, 1988 and 2012 not sure whether the dark part is the scroller or the light part lol.
1988 still the best one, somehow
agreed. no embellishment, just design that makes the functionality obvious.
I hate the modern ones you need to hover above so they even display, and then it’s 1 pixel wide and a shade of grey that’s about 2% darker than white.
Less functional and 500 lines of js garbage.It’s a few lines of css, no JS required.
.my-div:hover { overflow-x: scroll; }And the look and feel of the scrollbar is generally determined by the browser/OS. Unless someone does a custom scrollbar implementation, but that is exceedingly rare. So that thin rounded gray bar is a browser/OS design, again, without any JS.
I don’t know about scrollbars specifically, but apparently a lot of windows 11 is written in react
It’s the start menu that’s written in react.
what
And then they got thinner every year while. Screens got wider…
An endangered species
'98 to '09 was the sweet spot. Textures make the page slider easier to spot and use.
I miss that glass aesthetic from 2001
Seems like it’s coming back
1998 was truly the best time. When all OS widgets looked the same. And could be used in apps, and everything had a consistent look. Yeah you could override this in your app. But fuck people who did that. Everything looked so nice and uniform and you knew what to expect from a widget and its look and behavior. Get off my lawn.
imho the clustered version of the scroll bar buttons (like in Amiga Workbench 2.0+, Macintosh OS, macOS, KDE) make way more sense to me (minimal mouse movement to change scroll direction) than this spread out layout.
OS X Lion apparently forgot to add the scroll bar entirely
Hope somebody got fired for that epic blunder
System 1 my beloved
2009, pls.
But I guess with the end caps from 2006.

By 2026 AI does the scrolling for you, a feature made mandatory (all scrollbars removed) in 2028 😭
From next year the government will be allowed to scroll for you if they deem it in the interest of national security
And pauses for 30 seconds over each ad.
More profitable to deliver ads seamlessly without pausing but shown continuously all the while scrolling. 100% profits!🤑💸
1998 was in my formative years with computers, so I will always be partial to it. Xfce can get pretty close.
Honestly I’m partial to it as well. Possibly for the same reasons, but also because the bar and buttons are clearly defined and have good contrast. The later designs begin to fade out until now the scroll bar is just a thin line, which is sometimes hidden, so you don’t see it unless you’re looking for it.
