Enabling Custom Scroll Bars

Web Central includes an option to replace default browser scroll bars with custom scroll bars. Default scroll bars make complex form look busy, and on smaller screens they may take up too much space.

Some advantages of custom scroll bars are:

  • They are narrow and don't take up as much space as the default scroll bars.
  • They have the same background color as the panel background.
  • They have no up and down arrow buttons.
  • After a view page loads, the scroll bars fad away, creating additional space. Mouse over the panel, and the system redisplays the scroll bars.

To enable custom scroll bars for all views:

  1. Modify WEB-INF/config/context/controls/view/controls-view.xml by setting:
    <property name="useScroller" value="true"/>
  1. Restart the application server.
