the main thin= g is the right-hand side with the slider
and let's talk about this screen-pixels-saving idea
the window borde= rs are thin, but still active, mainly from outside of the window
scrollb= ars are thin, too, with a "pop-out" slider tool
could be impro= ved, of course
however, not a bad idea, IMHO
I always wanted to get rid of all that pix= el-consuming stuff...
another way would, perhaps, be using keyboard for = vert/hor scrolling, but I feel that there's a strong opposition to usin= g kb for anything else than character input...
