+title: "Changes To The Scrollbar"
+date: 2014-02-22 00:00:00
+excerpt: Packing more information into the right scrollbar.
+---
+
+I've made some changes to the scrollbar that is shown on the right side of the
+display based on some feedback from users. The scroll area now has a single
+vertical line extending from the top to the bottom. Previously, this area would
+show log message characters and it wasn't very clear that the scroll bar
+existed. The line is colored based whether there are errors or warnings in that
+part of the log. The coloring should make it easier to see the distribution of
+errors across the whole log. Similarly, there are notches added to the left and
+right side of the line to show search hits and bookmarks, respectively. See the
+following screenshot to get an idea of what it looks like:

+
+These changes are currently only in the latest code from git. I'll be playing
+with things a bit more before making a release.
