Hi and big bow to the the creators of this great and complicated library. Would you implement Scrollbar capability for not fitted fonts and menus?

Hi! Thanks for your interest

this can also be implemented as a plugin... and why plugins? because fancy features grow the code base and this library is almost impossible to use with a graphics library on a small mcu like atmega328.

This feature requires a gfx library or special chars on a text output device. So it fits the plugin place.

this can be implemented aside the menu central code, just a matter of reducing the panel size to let space for drawing the scroll bar and draw it according to menu proportions and navigation position.

about the X cursor, its a setting for text output but graphics output will ignore it and use a selectin cursor (inverted graphics) instead.
