On: A brief history of Windows scroll bar shortcuts

> I don’t mind if you want a custom look and feel for your application

This is why I like Delphi / C++Builder's theming. It's standard UI controls -- so you get stuff like the scrollbar menu Raymond mentions -- but you can make it look custom if you want. Same behaviour, different rendering.

In the early days of Delphi you could recognise those apps because the OK and Cancel buttons had a tick or cross in them.
