На этой странице описываются полосы прокрутки Ayatana и некоторые основные моменты. Подробнее можно прочесть в блоге Canonical Design Blog.

Доступны пакеты для Natty:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ayatana-scrollbar-team/release; sudo apt-get update

Ночные сборки доступны в отдельном ppa: http://www.launchpad.net/~unity/+archive/daily

Проект распологается по адресу: https://launchpad.net/ayatana-scrollbar

Исходный код доступен в ветке bazaar branch: bzr branch lp:ayatana-scrollbar

Для проверки работы программы с этими полосами прокрутки, нужно запустить программу командой:

LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=foo <команда>

Например,

LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=foo gedit

As of the Ubuntu 11.04 release, most GTK applications are known to work with the feature. However, only applications using the gtk_scrolled_window type are fully compatible with the new scrollbar.

Other applications will display the old scrollbars instead. This is the case for applications like gnome-terminal which programs interactions with scrollbars directly.

Applications known to have issues with the ayatana-scrollbar

In most cases, those applications are not really GTK+ applications, as they use only parts of the toolkits, in a way that is quite different from native GTK+ applications.

This list documents the applications which have been blacklisted as of the Ubuntu 11.04 release. Either for incompatibility reasons, or to avoid breaking the software update mechanisms in Ubuntu.

• «apport-gtk»,
• «Banshee»,
• «deja-dup»,
• «eclipse»,
• «inkscape»,
• «liferea»,
• «lshw-gtk»,
• «meld»,
• «synaptic»,
• «update-manager»,
• «vinagre»
