Artist's Note

I liked the scrollbars at typophile.com so much that I decided to make a VS based on them. Also some reshacking, chrome editing for firefox, trusty old icons and foobar config, avedesk sysstats clock. None of this is for release.

I believe those scroll bars are part of the standard theme Macromedia uses for its flash components these days. In their latest release of Flash, they made it a pain in the ass to change the appearence of their components so a lot of people just leave them. Anyways, this is a nice screenie. These visual styles with the dark caption bars and white interfaces are simply classic and never get tired.

fate0000: Hah, you're right it is from flash. Credit to Macromedia then.

The caption font is a modified Foundry Sterling. And no, you haven't seen this VS before, the scrollbars are the only part I didn't make. Although I admit the black caption bar is quite common, it's actually a subtle gradient.

Edit: For tab bar at bottom add this to userchrome: "#content > tabbox {-moz-box-direction: reverse;}" I prefer it at the bottom so that when I maximize the window it is on top of the taskbar (which is a logical way to group info in my view) and away from my bookmark buttons. It doesn't create more mouse movement because I use mouse gestures to open/close/switch between tabs very fast.

More importantly, why would you want to? Just creates more mouse movement.
