Ah ha! -perhaps the Mac did it right.

I've hated scrollbars since their inception. Talk about user-unfriendly!
Years ago, I made (in javascript) a screen-grabber which made the scrollbar
redundant and, with a little upgrading, probably could have been a
universally-accepted replacement for it. Unfortunately, the situation with
javascript now makes that unlikely, but it does show what can/could have
been done in the first place.
