As you may remember from our series on common usability terms, I have a lot of interest in graphical user interface concepts. In addition, I applaud anyone trying to improve existing concepts, people that try to think beyond set conventions to come up with an improved version of that concept, or a new concept altogether. Thorsten Wilms took on the well-established concept of the scrollbar, and came up with a few interesting tweaks.

In Linux, you get to enable circular scrolling on your touch pad too. It's triggered slightly differently (start your finter in hotspot of your choice) though, as right and middle clicks are done with multiple finger taps, but the basic interaction style is still there.
