Hacking Is it me or the scroll bar really hard to use?

[kevenka]

I think the cyclod DS is awesome in every aspect...but when it comes to using the scroll bar to pick which backup game to play...Seriously...does anyone use it? I mean is it just me or is it hard to move it around with the touch stylist to scroll down on the Rom files?

To be honest, I never use it. It could be the most unnecessary feature of the gui. For me, it really serves no purpose.

 

[kevenka]

Well, thing is, I can't even click on it to scroll through the menu 0.o
Did the team intentionally do that?

 

[gizmo_gal]

I never even knew the Cyclo had a scroll bar. I thought just up and down buttons got you through a list of games...

Well, it's pretty small. I just always use the d-pad to navigate the menu. Or, you can actually move the stylus down on the lower part of the touchscreen to scroll down, but doing that is a bit inaccurate.

it is pretty retarded. don't even know why they put it on there if you can't use it.

yep that's what i had to do. it's not too bad, but using the dpad > stylus on the cyclo

Same...I was just wondering if it was just me though b/c it was getting kinda annoying not being able to use the scrollbar.

I thought this same thing initially and was going to ask TC if they would include a "lefty" option in 1.4 final. Then I realized that if you hold your stylus in the top or bottom corners the list will scroll. Very quickly at that. So I'm assuming that the scroll bar is just there to show you where you're at in your list.

You don't have to actually touch the scroll bar. You can touch the stylus anywhere on the screen and drag it.

 

[Fat D]

the scrollbar is a purely decorative iten to indicate your position in the menu. It serves no practical purpose.

Not quite sure that's true b/c when I tried doing that, it would just click on the file and not really move down or up. I am starting to think it is for decorative use though.

 

[jalaneme]

yeah, that's why i just use the d pad to move up and down the menu,

 

[Fat D]

the top qand bottom bars are the touchscreen scrolling bits.

 

[kevenka]

Thanks FAT D! I like using the scroll button

 

[DeMoN]

The scrollbar does work, if you can't use it then recalibrate your touch screen.

Correct. I wish they would actually make it scroll itself but right now it is just to show where you are in a list. It's still useful to me though.

 

[Ferrariman]

The scroll bar is cosmetic. All it does is show where you are in the list. You can't "grab" it

 

[kevenka]

Actually, You can touch the top right corner to scroll up and the bottom right coner to scroll down

Fat D said that earlier and I tried

Actually you can touch anywhere along the top and bottom of the screen to scroll up and down. It doesn't have to be in the corners.

 

[kevenka]

Hmm, thanks again gratefulbuddy. You always seem to be on top of things
