Agreed. Though it would be Really Nice if it looked and acted just like 
a native scrollbar, save for the eye candy in the trough. Not mandatory 
just Really Nice.

One of tkdiff's minor failings, IMO, is the rather clunky emulation of a 
scrollbar (and hey, I wrote a bunch of that code so I'm largely dissing 
myself here...) I was pretty happy when I discovered I could use a style 
to draw in the trough but didn't have to worry about drawing the arrows 
or thumb myself. I've been blown away by tile for quite a while now, but 
that added a little extra wind :-)

It's a feature I could live without quite easily though. This is only 
one of maybe two times in my career when I wanted to do something 
non-standard with a scrollbar.
