Hello,

is there an option somewhere? Scrolling up/down with the buttons on the scrollbar is painfully slow. Not problem a problem with a normal mouse but if I forgot to carry it, using the powerbook's pad is, well, slow.

There's an ugly way of doing that, namely increasing the frequency of intuiticks. Back in the days of MorphOS on pup hardware I used to do that with a simple command line tool that I had written. While this worked to speed up scrolling in the browsers of the time, it's really a hack which isn't recommended as some software might depend on those ticks arriving about 10 times per second.

MUI scroll buttons probably should be adjusted to scroll faster. It is ridiculously slow but I admit I never noticed that since I never used those buttons... I am always dragging the bar.

Not really capable of doing that myself, I think. Anyway, arrow up/down keys work fast so I can live with that.

I'm using the arrow uo/down keys, wich work fast. But sometimes I forget and use the scrollbar buttons!
