Publisher's Description:
Tordex Wheel - Tordex Wheel is a useful and small application that adds intelligence to the mouse wheel. By default, when you roll the mouse wheel, Windows roll the currently active window and ignore the mouse cursor position. With Tordex Wheel, Windows rolls the window under the mouse cursor, so you can scroll windows, lists, etc. without having to activate them.
Using Tordex Wheel is very simple. Just run it and Tordex Wheel will improve your mouse wheel. The program sits in the Windows Tray and doesn't take much resoures. List of Changes:Version 1.0 from 2006-08-16

 The Bare Minimum
Tordex Wheel works as advertised...it scrolls the window pane under your pointer, instead of whatever has focus, but stops dead there. It does not work for anything BUT window panes or other items that are not bound to scrolling already, such as combo boxes or sliders (which plenty of other mouse interfaces do...I first enjoyed these features on a Radio Shack mouse about a decade ago). Also, when scrolling non-windowpane items that do have focus, like combo boxes, items get skipped, even when scrolling at minimum speed.
I'm also having to use additional software to enable mouse wheel acceleration, which means that between my mouse's driver and 3rd party apps, I'm having to run 3 pieces of software to get one piece of hardware to function decently.
I should hope someone expecting users to pay for their software would make it a little more robust, but this comes off as a quick and dirty hack some developer made for himself, then thought it could make him a quick buck. This would be good freeware for people who don't mind hacking together their own functional interface, but a paid program should provide ALL a user's needs for basic mouse interface features: scroll acceleration, *intelligent* scroll event handling, mouse gestures and button remapping, and special functions like application switching by scrolling over the taskbar.
To the developer: Keep going. You could potentially have a very good product, but you don't yet.
