Is it time to get rid of the scrollbar? And what, replace it with the overlay scrollbar? Um, ok. Also, something like this will be available in the next major apple os release.

I like it, especially for small-screen devices like netbooks. But then I'm forever clicking on a blank bit of web page and dragging, expecting it to scroll the way it does on my ipod.

I like it a lot. Scroll bars have always bothered me. They use up so much space on the entire page.

software knows not to put text or graphics there
That's the problem. I am always amazed at the amount of real estate that scroll bars take up in software with a lot of panes, like Visual Studio, even when I have no intention of scrolling. The current scroll bar serves as an indicator of how big the content is as compared to the screen as well as a control to move the "viewport". This separates those two functions nicely.

I can't tell from looking at that whether or how much it's good, but I support the idea of getting a better thing to replace the scrollbar, which I have always hated and used as little as possible. Someone might start by putting the up and down buttons closer together. Especially when you're using a touchpad, it sucks moving the mouse way up and down the screen. I just use the keyboard generally, but still. On principle.

They're not so much getting rid of the scrollbar as making it show/hide when needed.
That's like saying "We did away with boring channel controls on your remote!" by hiding them under a sliding panel. Now you have to search for the thing, you still need them to change the channel, and all you've really done is add a layer of obfuscation.
Judging by the title I imagined it might be a new way to envision one's place in a long document or set of contents. This looks more like "but this time, our wheels are round" syndrome.

Actually the more I think about it, I think that whevever I moused over to the edge of the screen to select text it would pop up and I would be like "damn scroller thing , always popping up when I am trying to select text" so fuck this, it sucks.

Yeah, the argument is a little fallacious. Their main conceit is to get those scroll bars "out of the way" so you can focus on what you are doing. Humans tune that stuff out. The bars are always there, like background noise; they blend in. However, making them a dynamic element will draw my attention to them, making them more obtrusive. These things are going to be flitting and flickering in and out of my focus, and the simple act of "getting out of the way" is going to be way more distracting than just staying put. That said, I appreciate this kind of experiment, and am not particularly attached to scroll bars anyways. Getting rid of them makes sense on a mobile device, where screen space is limited and mouse cursors don't exist, but making the argument for a desktop paradigm will be a lot trickier.

What I'd love to see, actually, is apps and OSes stop using so damn much vertical space for menubars, status bars and other UI chrome now that widescreen monitors are the default. Not a huge issue if you're running a 27" Cinema Display or something, but with most low-cost laptops and netbooks having less than 1000px of vertical resolution, all that wasted space adds up pretty fast.

It says it was inspired by touch devices, where you already don't use the scrollbar for scrolling (you use gestures). Compare this to how iOS iTunes scrolling works.

i've used OS X and I use Ubuntu (as my primary os) and I can say, Mark Shuttleworth, you are no Steve Jobs.
If the fucker would stop fucking around with the UI, maybe Ubuntu would get to that last 5% of QA stuff that would make it possible for me to recommend installing on friends computers after they get screwed by some windows virus/rootkit horror. It's almost there, but then I think about how the default media player totem gets goofy on half the DVD's you try(vs. say vlc), how the interface on vlc is horrible. how the system/preferences system/admin menu trees are byzantine and nonsensical. how weird stuff happens often enough and the ubuntu forums are full of empty question threads.
but no, he's trying to out-Jobs Jobs. when the netbooks first came out, and MS desperately wanted to kill XP, but Vista was a non-starter. Ubuntu had a perfect opportunity to actual reach regular users. But instead they tried to reinvent the UI wheel with the buggy, stupid Ubuntu-Netbook edition instead doing the basic QA work to get ubuntu onto every netbook out there.

It says it was inspired by touch devices
By moving the pointer towards the scroll bar you can detect a user's intent and display the thumb, can't really do this on a touch device there is no mouse pointer. Let's say they display the thumb when you are dragging the screen, there is no way to click the buttons on the thumb.
Touch screens need the ability to detect a finger just above the screen but not touching.

octothorpe sez: I usually only use the PgUP, PgDn keys and the mouse wheel to scroll.
I recently adopted an Apple Magic Trackpad, which permits me the same functionality -- a two-finger swipe scrolls the page, replaces the scroll wheel. I can't remember the last time I actually clicked on the scroll bar. Between laptops and the proliferation of touch devices, it's become a graceful degradation requirement, serving a generation who learned with desktop computers or use old fashioned devices. Every kid I know has a laptop and a phone. They expect to touch.
However, I use the scroll bar to ascertain the length of the document I'm looking at. So there's still that. :)

The point of it aping touch devices is that it only needs to show an indicator that there is more to the page, not that it should show a handle for moving the scrollbar when your fingers are near: on touch devices, just moving the page with your finger works to scroll. The hover-to-see-the-handle is an attempt to combine the gesture from touchscreen devices with the standard "here is where the scroll happens" location/expectation.

Get rid of the title bar. I don't need confirmation that I'm running an app I've run every day for years. And put the menubar and toolbar on the same "line", to save vertical space. Or get rid of the menubar.
(In fact, I do all three in Firefox, on KDE: the "Chromi" window decorator gets rid of all but the right side of the menubar, overlapping the unused right end of the menubar. Then I use an extension to collapse the menubar to an icon on the toolbar, and shove the url bar onto the toolbar.
So vertically from top, I have one menubar-toolbar-urlbar-titlebar, on top of my tab bar. In Windows, there's no chromi, but there is a FF extension to do a better fullscreen.)

This seems so small and obvious a point.
Scrolling has been moving from the GUI to pointing devices for nearly twenty years. IMO, the main reason scroll bars have so far survived is mouse scroll wheels are an abomination.
Multitouch pads and screens, however, offer very kinesthetically elegant ways of differentiating clicks from drags from swipes. Combined with the increasing adoption of momentum (inertial scrolling), scroll bars no longer need be so wide.
Many UI vernaculars would benefit if scroll bars were just wide enough to show viewport position and to indicate a clickable gutter for jumping.

Please, no more things that auto hide and pop out over your content when the mouse happens to be near the edge of the screen. Bad bad idea. Just accept that the fucking scrollbar is worth the space it takes up because it is both a control and an indicator of how big the document is and where you are in it.
It is not worth the extra screen real estate if the cool content occupying that real estate gets hidden by some popup horror every time the damn mouse wanders near an edge.

The goal is to help people immerse themselves in their stuff, without being burdened with large amounts of widgetry which isn’t relevant to the thing they are trying to concentrate on. And when it comes to widgetry, there are few things left which take up more space than scrollbars.

I am always skeptical of schemes to impose new methods on, and take up the learning time of, literally hundreds of thousands of people, based on a few people's idea of what's more elegant. To consume the thousands and thousands of person-hours involved in discarding a paradigm as established as scroll bars and mouse wheels, it better be an order of magnitude better. This doesn't look like an order of magnitude to me.

Well, this is Linux, so when it does get rolled out my guess is that you will be able to
- adjust the proximity to the window edge before the scroll widget appears
- adjust the time the pointer must loiter in the proximity area before the scroll widget appears
- adjust the transparency of the widget
- turn the widget off altogether and use regular scrollbars
- turn both the widget and the regular scrollbar off
- code up your own solution, since you're such a fucking expert
Please, no more things that auto hide and pop out over your content when the mouse happens to be near the edge of the screen. Bad bad idea.
I've been wrestling with this. I use this little application called SideNote for persistent tracking/productivity text editing -- I mouse hard-right on the screen, and this little drawer of text pops out of the right side of the screen. It's a good way of breaking out of the flow of what I'm doing right now for quick reference or notetaking.
The problem is that I haven't found a way of setting this up in such a way that it's both a convenient trigger action and also won't interrupt other activities near the right edge of the screen. So, I'm fiddling in Illustrator or Fireworks or something with a scrollbar or a toolbar on the right side of the screen and it gets too close to the trigger point (which isn't, unfortunately, just the last pixel on the right side) and BAM, out pops the drawer, focus (both UI and personal) goes away from what I'm doing.
The answer is probably in some hotkey setup instead of right-screen triggers.
I suppose I can see that for some applications that are largely about reading/readout and there's very little interaction that goes on inside of a window, I could see a transient scroll ui providing some marginal benefit. But it's marginal enough I'm not really convinced about the benefits.

I'd certainly be happy with a scrollbar that auto-hid on the right border inside of the window, appearing when you move your mouse into the rightmost area, and then vanishing when the mouse moves out of that area.
Perhaps it might be even partially transparent, if it's really essential to see what's under it as the content is scrolled.

I don't see why the ease mouse interaction is that important at all. I almost never scroll using the widget. I use the keyboard or the scroll wheel except in the rare case that I need to go to a particular position on a really long page. When I do, I'd be happy to interact with one of the thin scroll bars shown in the video in the same way as a regular scroll bar. No need for any distracting things popping up just to make it a little easier to aim.

I never scroll using the actual scrollbars unless I'm forced to. On the web, I use the space bar, the scroll wheel or the middle mouse button. However, I do value the scroll bar as a visual marker of how far along I am in a long web page or thread.

Atomic Web is a great browser alternative, think it's a buck. Has lots of configurable two and three finger gestures, including the ability to double swipe to scroll all the way to the top/bottom. It's close to what I imagine Firefox would be on iOS, certainly miles better than Safari. And if you've jailbroken your device you can install browser switcher so links in other apps will open it instead of Safari.
I'm gonna check out humanfront's solution too, as there are a few random sites that'll only work right with Safari proper.

I'm trying to figure out how a scrollbar "takes up a lot of screen space." What kind of jumbo scrolling are they doing? This strikes me as a solution attempting to play up the significance of the problem.
If you must implement this, please make it an adjustable preference.

No. The lifehacker/gawker/etc. new lack of it often means that my middle scroll button works but there's no other indication of more content in the scrollable div on the page.
Content I can't see and don't know about is content I won't come back to look for.

I've used a recent Macbook touchpad and hated it even more since there aren't separate mouse buttons and you have to actually push down on the pad itself to click the mouse. It was pretty much the most annoying user interface device that I've used in years.

Yeah, I was pretty horrified when they announced that Unity was coming to the desktop.
I mean, I think the Linux desktop needs a lot of work, but they seem set on dumbing everything down where it shouldn't be (Unity) and keeping everything in the Dark Ages when it could be made so much better (proper application bundles residing in an Applications folder instead of this package manager nonsense.)
My theory is that these design choices are made from a sysadmin's point of view- make it super easy for even the most feeble-minded user to find out how to get Facebook (hence "Firefox Web Browser", "Pidgin Instant Messenger" etc) but be conservative with the app installation and administration tools so nothing gets shaken up too much.
Personally, I think the Linux desktop should be burned down to the kernel and rebuilt anew as a purpose-built desktop OS. But we were talking about scrollbars.

Scroll bars aren't the problem—horizontal space, I've got in spades. Widescreen monitors, dual displays...we've never had more horizontal space to play with. I need more vertical space, not more horizontal space.
Title bars that are 70% unused space, menu bars that can't be docked next to toolbars, toolbars that become unusable when docked on the side of a window instead of the top or bottom, the goddamned "ribbon bar"...all robbing me of precious pixels. A pox on all of 'em.

As much as I love the gestural features of my new macbook's trackpad (why can't windows laptops get this right?), the clickable trackpad drives me crazy. I used click with my thumb. Now if I do that it registers a "two finger click", unless I keep my thumb down at all times... and bootcamp gets it even worse. I'm trying to retrain myself to just click with my pointing finger, but the pad is VERY hard to click near its top. FRUSTRATING.

Just turn off tap to click. Gesture, e.g. scrolling, still work, and you click with your thumb AS GOD INTENDED as per usual.

It's difficult to say anything about Unity without understanding that it exists within the context of choice. If you're running an Ubuntu machine right now, you've got the choice between two full-featured window managers, about five or six stripped down window managers, and no less than four netbook-style managers, including Unity. The more tech-savvy you are, of course, the easier it is to run a different or multiple managers, to say nothing of installing a different Linux distribution altogether.
Put me in a separate camp: a reasonably tech-savvy guy who still gets super-frustrated by how ugly and hard to use computers can be sometimes. When I traded my laptop out to run a netbook exclusively, Unity was at first a huge stumbling ground. As I've spent more time with it, though, particularly with the indicator applets and the program bar on the side, I realize Shuttleworth et al are onto something that is, at the very least, interesting (if not revolutionary). They're re-imagining how a GUI is supposed to look, from the ground up. Going with a minimized, low-profile scrollbar is just the latest in a series of rethinks that has included extensive reimagining of what a system tray is, for instance.
At least once a week I will read about something on OMGUbuntu for Unity that will make me say "Huh!" out loud, because it's made a process I accepted as difficult / clumsy / ugly a little or at lot less of those things. As a counter to the feature gloat floating around Redmond, Unity's developers are constantly thinking about how to reduce the barrage of indicators and buttons and inputs ordinary users have to think about to do something simple like check their e-mail.
But, again, if you don't like it, getting rid of it is as easy as changing your default window manager. Takes all of three minutes.

I've always found that replacing the window manager in Linux tends to break most distributions. It isn't obvious, but things just don't work as well afterward - programs you install don't create icons, configuration options affect the wrong things, etc. It's an unspoken assumption in Ubuntu that you kept using Gnome, and when you break that assumption, little inconsistencies appear all over.
The default UI is always the most consistent and best supported, so it really needs to be good. That's why it's really annoying when Ubuntu messes with their UI. User interface isn't just about quality anymore - there are little shared conventions that PCs, Macs, and Linux generally share. Violating those conventions is something that just shouldn't be done lightly, at least with the default install.

Funny, looks to me like what they've done here is reskinned the default scrollbar. Now it doesn't have the whole bar behind it, and it's just a tab that you can scroll with.
It's a pretty logical innovation, although it doesn't strike me as much to be excited about... unless you're on a low-rez display, which I guess is the target market (netbooks) for a lot of Ubuntu installs.

I don't like it. The scrollbar provides an immediate indication of a page's length, and your position on the page, neither of which can be determined from the overlay. There are also really handy ways to make use of the scrollbar like how Chrome uses it to mark all instances of the Find function so you can see at a glance the frequency of a keyword and jump to them as you wish.
It strikes me as a solution looking for a problem, and the kind of innovation that we would later regret just like how various odometers that were replaced by digital meters lost vital spatial information used in assessment (see: Distributed Cognition).

Sure, but then you might as well have those pixels being used as a scrollbar.
As it is, the scrollbars in windows could be, say, 15-50% of their current size without any lost functionality. But I'm also not seeing how screen real estate would be vastly improved by an additional 20-30 horizontal pixels, even on my 11" screen.

Oh yes, I love that. It is a nice idiom. Eclipse has different notifications that show in the side area of the editor. (but the user prefs in eclipse are an abomination and I'm not recommending anyone copying how eclipse handles things)
With devices that have keyboards, I try to set it up so that I can use key sequences to jump around. scrollbars in terminal windows really suck if you need to search backwards. (gnu screen lets you use vi keys). never got the nack of using vimperator, though.
window gutters are nice for showing line numbers, size of a doc, highlighted thingees... they shouldn't get rid of that. I guess maybe instead of a mouse there could be something god awful modal where the screen is ghosted over with the information and then new keys and gestures could be blah blah blah

This is such a mixed bag. Scrollbars are an ancient UI widget and can waste screen real estate. This is a good step a tweaking them but I'm starting to hate hover-popups with such a fury that I'm not sure I'd like this. I also agree with the the widespread observation that saving horizontal real estate is solving the wrong problem. Frankly, text that is too wide is difficult to read anyway. It's the vertical real estate that I care about and seems to be frivolously wasted on menu bars, address bars, title bars, and other stuff that really doesn't need to be always visible.

As seems usual these days, someone is trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. The scrollbar is a perfectly functioning part of the screen that gives a visual clue to how much more content is further down the page, allows the user to quickly navigate to anywhere in the page and doesn't keep changing the way the screen looks all the time. If this idea really saves space, it would have to overlay the page content and either cover it at the wrong times or re-draw the page to make it narrower by the width of the scroll widget, both of which are worse than what we have now.

I've been using Ubuntu as my main OS for about 4 years. I'm about due for a new computer, and Windows 7 is looking appealing. I hate OSx. I bought a Macbook just to try it. I hate my Macbook for its missing buttons and keys, and why did I have to pay for the fucking glowing logo? But to be fair, I rather hate laptops anyway.
But over the course of 4 years, I've seen Ubuntu do its steady stream of "updates", and I'm very unimpressed. I've grown sick of software that is lacking polish. Why in hell is there no decent tool for browsing and sorting photos? Or far worse, why must the file browser choke so bad on a photo directory with over 2000 photos? Is this 1982?
Which leads me to scroll bars. So many folks here are saying "I don't use them, so they are useless!" Well la fucking de fucking da. And people who stay home don't need shoes, so shoes are useless.
I do use scrollbars. I'll grant you, when I use them, they don't entirely function in my favor, and function can be improved. But seriously, the indicator function is important, the positional indication is important, and too often, I need to get around.
