regarding #scrollbars…
I kinda get why you'd design ridicilously tiny, vertical scrollbars? I mean… not really, but yes, they aren't the primary interface for people to scroll, but more of some indicator now?
but…
HORIZONTAL SCROLLBARS?
Why would you make those ridicilously tiny too? It's not like there were dual scroll wheels on mice nowadays?
Most people don't have one of those 90s "a4tech" "4d mouse" thingies? Those kinda died out? (and they were stupid to begin with, because both wheels were oriented vertically)
Yes, you shouldn't have people scrolling in both directions… but IF you have and thus show that interface element, then making it unclickable small doesn't make ANYTHING better?
(and since both should look alike, maybe just have visible scrollbars and be done with it! but that's just like my opinion man?"

@dat I mean technically a lot of people _do_ have a mouse with a horizontal scrolling feature and don't even realise it. They could also hold the shift key while scrolling. Why can't they simply learn how to use a computer?? /s
I agree with you, of course. I wonder how much of that has to do with developers and designers working on devices with touchscreens and nice large touchpads
@dat I bought a Logitech MX Master 3S exactly for its horizontal scroll wheel …
