Scrolling panel - scroll bar format
The scroll bar in a scrolling panel looks "classic" (the way that scroll bars have looked for decades) in the StoryLine file -- a wide bar and up/down arrows at the top/bottom to further indicate "s...
Adding my vote! I don't want to 'customize' it - I just want the option to use a standard-looking, universally-recognizable one.
The 'modern' scrollbar might be fine for a cute little activity, but it is not universally user-friendly enough to use with important must-see content or compliance training.
When viewing content in a browser, users expect a scrollbar that matches a standard browser scrollbar. I'd rather learners spend their cognitive energy on the contents of the scrolling panel, than on trying to figure out how to use it. Or worse, not see all the content because they didn't realize it scrolled. A basic UI component like a scrollbar shouldn't require instructions.
The narrow width is also a dexterity issue for users who don't use a scrollwheel or use a pen.
We've been using web objects as a workaround, but those are time consuming and aren't 508-friendly.
Every last word of what Renee said. We don't want customization at all -- not even the customization that this skinny version is. This was a major violation of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
The fact that even the Preview changes it means that someone had to intentionally code that at some point (it can't be blamed on the browsers).
Yes Renee put it well. I agree we need something that looks like a typical scroll bar, and I don't necessarily need to customize, but maybe it could be a few options? Maybe a light option and a dark option, maybe one a bit wider or a "modern" version. The ONLY option now is way to thin and unobtrusive, so unobtrusive that users don't realize it's a scroll bar. And like Brendt mentioned, does not look like the preview.
