White spot in Scroll Bar

Submitted by RyGuy12 on September 12, 2008 to Aesthetics, Annoyance

When viewing a folder in Windows Explorer and viewing a file in the preview pane, a white speck appears in the corner of the upper scroll bar button.

Remove it.

That is because it uses the same scroll bar as Office 2007... well that is because it uses Office 2007 explorer add-on in reality.

@bearluke: And for what reason? Make the button rectangular...

@bearluke

You are right but for this particluar topic you are wrong. You can clearly see the guy is previewing an office 2007 document hence the office 2007 scrool bars as SAID above....

how old are you 3? can't read or notice the different scroll bars! haha

@Ensign Joe
it has rounded corners for the same reason your keyboard keys have rounded corners... every button exists on the earth has rounded corners

@Ensign Joe: Really guys, stop cursing. bearluke is a moron and we all know it.

@bearluke: Shut up. A whole bunch of us are about to ask long to ban your handle and IP so you can never post on this site again.

@bearluke. please for the love of god shut up. First off, not all buttons are round, some are square, some are short tall. What you said made no sense whats so ever. look at the pic again and see its not the same as vista's exploirer bars but rather office 2007! duh

@Ensign Joe +1

@Jamesrising take a look at my topic on bearluke once more. I think its time to bring it back up..

@.Chris: I've been checking it every other day to see if anyone else has commented. I'll check it now though.

Something even more important: Why are they NOT using the native widgets?! Why the need to reinvent every control when they are just available in Windows?! I just do not get it....Always been with Office. Just look at Office 2000 in Windows xp....The scrollbars etc. are different than the ones from the system itself.

And Apple is doing just the same thing with their iTunes and Safari.....
