This is by far the best OS 10 mod I have ever found. There are quite a few simple mods in the system, but this is the most useful of all of them. I’ve been using this particular mod since around OS 10.2 and it’s great, the only time is can get in the way is on really tiny windows, but as there aren’t many of those don’t let it stop you!

To enable the mod open up the Terminal and enter:

defaults write “Apple Global Domain” AppleScrollBarVariant DoubleBoth

You can turn it off again pretty easily in one of the control panel options. You can also use Onyx to enable and disable this mod.

Try it you might like it!

I really like reading the Roughly Drafted blog, the guy digs up some really interesting things. These two articles are a pretty good read, the pictures this guy makes for his blog are cool too.

Well at least take the time and have a read of “Microsoft’s Plot to Kill QuickTime”, there are some other great articles on their about Mac OS X’s relationship to it’s mother NeXTSTEP.

“Microsoft’s Plot to Kill QuickTime”

“The iTunes Vendor Lock In Myth”

I’ve also added this to a nice “Blogs I read” section in my links list.
