What is LionScrollbars FOR MAC?

LionScrollbars

LionScrollbars is a handy app that helps you control how scrollbars look on your Mac running OS X 10.7 Lion. If you've ever wanted more say in when and how those scrollbars appear, this tool is for you!

Customize Your Scrollbar Experience

This utility lets you change scrollbar settings based on each application. So, instead of having the same rules for every app, you can customize it to fit what you need! The standard settings in System Preferences only give you three options: always show, always hide, or depending on your mouse device. But these rules apply to all apps at once.

Why You Might Need LionScrollbars

Sometimes when you're editing text or coding, it's super helpful to see the scrollbar. With LionScrollbars, you can make sure the scrollbar is visible just when you want it!

How It Works

The preferences for each application are saved in .plist files. This means that whenever you want to change the default setting for an app, LionScrollbars writes right into those files. It's a neat way to override what's already set up by your system.

The Challenge with Sandboxing

Now, here's the catch: OS X Lion introduced something called sandboxing. This makes it trickier to manage how and where preferences are stored. But don't worry! LionScrollbars handles this complication so you can enjoy your customized scrollbar experience without any hassle.
