Description
----- This extension requires Opera 12.10 or newer! -----
modern scroll takes scrolling in Opera to a whole new level.
(Opera's standard scrollbars should be disabled to avoid double bars. Therefore go to Opera → Settings → Preferences... (Ctrl+F12) → Advanced → Browsing and uncheck "Show scroll bars")
What's awesome about modern scroll?
+ boosts your scrolling performance!
+ scrolling speed is adjustable
+ its scroll bars don't take up any space so the whole screen width can be used to display what a browser is made for: websites
+ elements or whole pages don't shift by some pixels when content changes and bars become (un)necessary
+ scroll bars are usable in fullscreen mode as well
+ scroll bars automatically hide when they are not needed
+ unique "superbar" which makes it possible to scroll horizontally and vertically at the same time
+ optional buttons for scrolling to the top and bottom of the page
+ behavior and appearance is fully customizable
This extension was originally planned as an update to "Slim ScrollBar" by damage92. But since it doesn't have a single line of code in common with the original extension we decided to publish it as a new one. Slim ScrollBar will of course continue to exist if you prefer the other implementation or if you are using Opera below 12.10 where modern scroll isn't available. Due to damage92's rare spare time it's not being actively developed at the moment, though.

This extension will modify or add functionality to one or more websites.

Thanks for this very useful extension. Unfortunatelly, it significantly slows down scrolling performance on older computers.

-----------------------------------------------------
@all users who are experiencing a missing interface, failing mouse wheel scrolling or similar issues:
These are bugs in Opera 12.12 & 12.13.
Uninstall modern scroll, update to the newest version of Opera and install it again.
If the problem should persist let me know about it ;)@all: If you love modern scroll, please rate it with 5 stars.
If you don't, tell me what needs to be improved ;)

Second to last one@claudeciel: prolonged startup? few seconds to change settings?! Do you have a bunch of other extensions installed? I do not experience any of those and my laptop is really low-end (plus modern scroll doesn't do anything at startup).
The scroll bars are another layer on top of all web pages. I'd love to hook them to the browser, but Opera doesn't offer this possibility.@kimmy8624: Try version 2.2 ;)
@oigres200: "Opera's smooth scrolling"?
You have to have another version than I do. There's nothing smooth about it on my machine :D
However, there already IS an option to disable the custom scrolling!
Have a look at the settings page.Jan. 24, 2013 - Version 2.2.1
Awesome!!
