![]() ![]() One is that Scroll Reverser depends on information from Mac OS X to determine the type of each device. You can also choose whether to reverse both horizontal and vertical scrolling, or just one or the other. (The Mouse category includes most trackballs.) In other words, if you want to keep Lion’s inverted scrolling for your trackpads and tablets, but use traditional scrolling when using a mouse or trackball, you can do so. Here you can choose which devices-trackpads, mice, and tablets-are affected by Scroll Reverser. (Scroll Reverser affects only traditional scrolling it doesn’t affect other Multi-Touch gestures.)īut the Preferences sub-menu is where Scroll Reverser’s real utility lies. You can quickly disable Scroll Reverser by choosing Reverse Scrolling from the menu to uncheck it. By default, all scrolling is reversed (from whatever your System Preferences setting is) for all input devices. Launch Scroll Reverser, and its systemwide menu lets you quickly adjust your scrolling preferences. (Count me in this group-I’ve mostly adjusted to the new way of scrolling on my trackpads, likely because it’s similar to the way I touch-scroll on my iPhone and iPad, but I can’t quite acclimate to it when using my mouse’s scroll wheel or my trackball’s scroll ring.) The second is that some people who like this new direction for vertical scrolling haven’t yet taken to inverted horizontal scrolling. The first is that there’s no way to configure Lion to use the new scrolling orientation with trackpads while maintaining traditional scrolling with mice and trackballs. ![]() But even among those who’ve adjusted to-or, heck, enthusiastically welcomed-this inverted scrolling, there are a couple persistent complaints. The initial furor over this change is starting to die down as people have either gotten used to the New Way or used Lion’s option, in System Preferences, to switch back to the Old Way. In other words, scrolling is backwards compared to how we’ve been doing it for the past decade and a half.

Combine this with enlarging the default text size in Chrome, and you’re off to a much more pleasurable reading experience online. Once you have done that you might also want to consider enabling Chrome Reader Mode, which will eliminate distracting photos and videos on webpages so you can focus just on the text. But for the most part, it will be much easier to read. Note, however, that there could be some distortion with things like side-page advertisements. If you want to increase the size of everything across the board, use the Page Zoom function and crank it up to 150% or 200%. The change isn’t astronomical: even if you choose a huge font size, some fonts will remain the same size while only headers become much larger. Whatever the reason, being able to change the default text size in Chrome is a useful option that can further personalize the browser experience for you. Conversely, you might find that while wearing your glasses, a smaller font size is easier. It’s also good for those with learning disabilities who might find larger text easier to read, even if they must scroll back and forth on the page.
