Computer: Scrolling
Generalization of Advanced Scroll-bars with Document Preview   (+3)  [vote for, against]
Take simple dektop scroll-bar class, and extend it to include main window preview.

To those who use vi editor, but get to know about the Sublime Text editor, it may occur that it is really convenient to have a wide scroll-bar with the whole code written in very tiny font in it.

It can be useful not for a single editor, but for any GUI application that has a document that needs scrolling.

Hence, the idea is to generalize it at the desktop environment level.

Imagine: your favorite terminal emulator with an option of such scroll-bar.

Witchcraft and heresy! You'll have my 80x25 terminal when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. [+]

Please don't fix it. I like the word "dektop". Sounds so William Gibson.
