Marc Moini Released Smart Scroll X v1.2

Smart Scroll was a great utility for classic Mac OS. Now, following in the steps of the classic Smart Scroll, Smart Scroll X brings new scrolling options and enhancements to Mac OS X:

  • Grab Scroll lets you scroll by clicking and dragging anywhere in a window. Currently for Cocoa applications.
  • A "High Gear" for your scroll wheel, so you can have super-fast scrolling when you need it.
  • Universal Scroll Keys to scroll without having to reach for the mouse. Scroll keys are the same in every application, giving you fast & dependable scrolling right from the keyboard.
  • Live scrolling for FileMaker Pro 7, live scrolling and proportional thumbs for AppleWorks 6.

Version 1.2 brings the following changes:

  • New Grab Scroll feature.
  • New "High Gear" feature for scroll wheels.
  • Live scrolling for FileMaker Pro 7.
  • Scroll keys now work with Ragtime, NetLogo and probably also the majority of CFM and Java apps.
  • Scroll keys now work with Mozilla's other themes (besides Classic).
  • Fixed an incompatibility which would crash Retrospect 6.0 on launch.
  • Turning Smart Scroll X off now properly disables live scrolling in AppleWorks (previously, you had to remove Smart Scroll X to disable live scrolling).
  • Various fixes and improvements.

Smart Scroll X 1.2 has a free trial and is $15 for single user license. It requires Mac OS X 10.2 or later. [Bill Fox]
