Questions tagged [scrollbars]

A scroll bar is a part of a graphical user interface element to present the user with a perspective of a percentage of the page shown. The scroll bar consists mainly of three parts: the track, thumb and buttons (or arrows). A user can click and drag the thumb in order to reveal more contents of the page. In the event that a user uses a scrolling function, the thumb tracks the page progress.

What questions should have this tag?
This tag, or topic, is very localized and should be used in-detail, and preferably include a broader instance than the problem itself. It should be included with questions concerning the User Interface elements in which the scroll bars behavior or appearance can be affected.
