2009-09-24 17:41:29 Dan Quade description The new Human theme's Human controls use scrollbars that have borders on maximized windows (Firefox, Nautilus, ...) This violates Fitts's law ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts%27s_law ) and creates annoyance for the user, because they are unable to grab the scroll by moving the mouse cursor to the edge of the screen - instead aiming a little to the left is required. The scroll in Human theme has a 2-pixel wide border. Also attaching image where the border is clearly marked.
