Smooth Scrolling Option

KevinFerguson

Hi! Great theme.

Unfortunately I find that it is jaggedy when scrolling on chrome. Is there a way that I can turn off the "Smooth Scrolling" feature that it seems to be using? I did this in the options of another theme and it fixed my issue.

Thanks!

Hello:-)

We don't use any smooth scrolling scripts. On what page I could see page getting jagged? Is it same on our demo http://blame.theme.apollo13.eu/ ?

With regards.

Hm. Yes, same on the demo, and only in chrome. Have you seen this issue before with some browsers on other themes?

You wrote you want to deactivate smooth scrolling - maybe you meant you want to activate it? I use Firefox work everyday work and in it I have active smooth scrolling so every thing scrolls nice on any page.

However in chrome I have this option off, so no matter what page, theme, forum it is always "jumping 50px" scrolling. Some themes might use JavaScript emulation to turn smooth scrolling on, but it is their decision.

Anyway there is no such option and no such feature in theme:-)

With regards.

Thanks for your help. See a video of my issue here:

Why do you think this is happening? I'm running latest versions of Chrome & Safari on a macbook pro. The theme very clearly scrolls less smoothly on Chrome.

Maybe it would be easier to see in uncompressed video. See on dropbox here:

Thanks for video:-) Yes I can see it is a bit slower, but not jumpy like on my windows:-)

However page that you compared is packed with effects for demo purposes so browsers has general hard time with such pages;-) Normally no one do such full of effect pages.
My assumption is that what you see is difference how well both browsers can work with heavy pages.

Lets take this page for example http://blame.theme.apollo13.eu/pages/archives/

Does it also scroll slower on your chrome?

With regards.
