smooth scrolling

September 06, 2012


If you're anything like me, then you loathe smooth scrolling to its very core.
Horrible, jerky, recalcitrant little monster of a creation.
So, if you download Mountain Lion, all your free will pertaining to this feature is seemingly stolen away from you.
Cruel Mountain Lion, i have rights y'know.

You can take the scrolling power back, however, with a neat little piece of coding.
Here's how:

Open Finder from your dock.

Click on Applications.

Open the Utilities Folder.

Locate the Terminal Application.

Enter this code:

defaults write -g NSScrollAnimationEnabled -bool NO

Close Terminal.

And everything else.

If not open already, load Safari or whichever browser you favour.

Then scroll happily without feeling as if your eyes are in some form of spasmodic failure.


This is necessary information that i think every irritable Mac user should be informed of.

This won't break your computer.
I swear.
