Scrollbar increments in scrolling group

I looked into doing that.  I created a separate scrollbar and was 
tinkering with it.  But I came down to one basic issue:  graphics.  I 
was under the impression that I had a lot of flexibility in how I 
could make the scrollbar appear visually, but when I started getting 
into the nuts and bolts, failed to see how I could use truly custom 
graphics.  I tried to make it transparent... I tried to make it 
narrower... but I did not see a way to make it truly gorgeous.

I'm finally back to work on the project closest to my heart.  It's a 
very happy moment for me, as this is what I most wanted to be working 
on :-)  I'm about 1/3 of the way thru it, and am currently working on 
the GUI, which needs to be gorgeous :-)  Every aspect of it needs to 
be customized graphically... every window, every button, not one iota 
of the built in OS graphics (look and feel) should be used.

As for the scrolling set of objects... Right now I've got three 
buttons.  One for the top arrow, one for the bottom arrow, and one 
for the scrollbar portion.  I've already coded the arrow buttons to 
move everything up/down one increment.  The sticky part will be the 
scroll btn.  I've already coded it for its own movement parameters. 
But not for how it affects the objects to be scrolled.

I've decided that the number of object sets should not have an end 
limit as originally planned, which makes creating a specific number 
of objects sets defunct.  So I've settled on a list of object sets, 
with 6 always being visible, and the scroll buttons will determine 
which six are visible.

That was the original plan, but I had hoped for a more fluid way of doing it.
