There's another alternative to having the vertical scroll bar on a line of its own: What about splitting the existing modeline into two parts: a scroll-bar part with a width equal to, say, 10 characters, a text part corresponding to the current mode line. Something like this: | | | | |_| |v| |<| || |>|-=?** c.c etc. ---------- when the vertical scroll bar is at the left, and | | | | | | |_| |v| -=?** c.c etc. ----------|<| || |>| when the vertical scroll bar is on the right. -- Kim F.
