StoryBox 0.3.62

This is one of those builds where I’m putting it up because I’m really excited about it, and I want to show off something cool. Check out the full screen mode in this build, and you’ll see a few new things (you may notice something in the regular mode, too).

First, the scrollbar looks different. I managed to hook a custom scrollbar to the text area, which solves a few problems, like quite a lot of the blinking that was happening as I hacked around issues that came up because of the default scrollbar. It also happens to look a little more appropriate, I think.

Second, if you start typing, you’ll notice pretty quickly that, if you would normally be typing on the bottom half of the screen, it will automatically move your typing to the center of the screen. If you don’t like this behavior, you can turn it off in the View options (on the status bar at the bottom).

Third, you can auto-hide the status bar by right clicking on it and selecting Auto-Hide from the menu that pops up.

A few other minor changes, including the ability to delete old versions round out this update. I was going to take the weekend and play World of Warcraft… I think, however, that I had much more fun.

Get it here!

    I LOVE the new scrollbars in full screen mode! That was one of the things that bothered me (the old scrollbars) and I love the new scrollbars. I love all the new changes and I love StoryBox! Keep up the good work!

    Hey thanks! Those old scrollbars bothered the hell out of me, too – but for the longest time I didn’t think it was even possible to replace them – then I had an idea, and it worked! :)
