Guys, this thread is out of control!

Read my original comment, which sparked the thread. The specific
feedback I have been given is that the scrollbar tips, when the
scrollbar is at the end, look like a "white well". Some scrollbars have
white wells. Our well is dark, but when the scrollbar is up against the
end, the tip can be interpreted as a white well, meaning that the
scrollbar os not quite up against the end. Make sense?

So.

The gap between square stepper and rounded tip is EXACTLY what I am
looking to test out.

Because that will clearly say "This is the tip, which is white, over the
well, which is dark, and its all up against the end of the well, next to
the square stepper".
