Hi,
I've started to use a "Scalebar" in my last project (
http://www.matthiasm.com/flScale.html )
And a believe it's an interface element that's quite useful, it works
like a scrollbar, but has little buttons attached at the ends of the
sash that manipulate the zoom level by dragging and streching the
sash.
It's also quite intutive, provided the user understands the concept of
a scrollbar, which most users hopefully do ;)
