Reducing the use of scrollbars to improve UI experience

Q:

The scrollbars of the lates releases of IE sometimes hurt the Sitecore UI. How to solve this problem?

A:  

To solve this problem, reduce the use of scrollbars. Allowing Sitecore more control of window management can provide an improved UI experience. To do so:

  1. Launch Internet Explorer
  2. Select Tools > Internet Options (if the Tools menu is not visible, press ALT-T)
  3. On the Security tab, select Trusted sites, then Custom Level:
  4. In the Miscellaneous section, set Allow script-initiated windows without size or position constraints to Enable:
  5. When prompted for confirmation, select Yes.

This solution helps when you use:

  1. IE7 and Sitecore 5.1.1
  2. IE6 and Sitecore 5.3 at 1024x768
  3. Very low screen resolution
