I don't like it, but it's just my humble opinion :)
hi, folks,
please, look at this: http://www2.gli.cas.cz/home/cejchan/plan9/ubuntu_widgets.png, and share your opinion;
the main thing is the right-hand side with the slider
and let's talk about this screen-pixels-saving idea
the window borders are thin, but still active, mainly from outside of the window
scrollbars are thin, too, with a "pop-out" slider tool
could be improved, of course
however, not a bad idea, IMHO
I always wanted to get rid of all that pixel-consuming stuff...
another way would, perhaps, be using keyboard for vert/hor scrolling, but I feel that there's a strong opposition to using kb for anything else than character input...
best regards,
