huh, I didnt even know you could get the selection box to move up and down like that! can you share your layout? maybe zip it up with the bg graphics on here?

I just make a few tweaks to the grid layout to achieve some of the things I did with my hypertheme. There is much faster scrolling now that can still be tweaked but still far from perfect. Anyway, I still trying to figure what is possible with this script. I think a lot more can be done with it. No doubt checkist is already tearing into this script as well. But, here you go...
