Windows 10: Microsoft is adding elastic scrolling to Chrome on Windows 10

If you use Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 and Google Chrome or Safari on macOS, you might have noticed scroll bounce effect when you scroll to the very top of a page, or to the bottom of a page.

The scroll bounce effect, which is also known as ‘elastic scrolling’, basically refers to a bounce whereby empty space can be seen for a moment when you scroll to the very top or bottom of the page. This scrolling effect has always been a part of the Edge browser on Windows 10 and it’s also coming to Chrome, thanks to Microsoft engineers.

In a commit, Microsoft highlighted how it plans to allow the root scroller to be over scrolled beyond the scroll bounds on Windows 10. Chromium is being updated to use “OverscrollBounceController drives,” which allows the browser to scroll deltas on GSU into a hyperbolic tangent function.

The main idea behind the feature is that when the user pans to the bounds of the root scroller (very top or bottom of the page), the scroller will “overscroll” and you will notice a “bounce” effect and an empty space.

“When the user stops the scroll interaction, the overscroll should animate back to the bounds of the scroller. This all holds true for a fling as well. When a fling hits the bounds of the root scroller, the velocity should cause overscroll to initiate – it will animate into the overscroll until it reaches a rest, and then animate back to the bounds,” Microsoft noted.



The empty space or the bounce effect can be noticed for a few seconds before the page springs back. You will notice this effect when you scroll on a device using a touchscreen or Precision touchpad.

“There already exists an implementation of this for Mac. The main controller for this is InputScrollElasticityController. However, this new feature – Overscroll Bounce – has a different personality that largely matches the rest of Windows application,” Microsoft noted.



An experimental feature flag “Elastic Overscroll for Windows” is already available in Google Chrome Canary.

Microsoft Selects Dolby Audio for Windows 10

it would've been great if microsoft added HEVC decoders, LAV filters along with other codecs with Windows 10, and developing WMP to be better than VLC, KMPlayer and such sorts of media players.

Nevertheless, this is good step for microsoft, by far.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

I won't buy a key, stupid.

is that causing the problem?
