Improving your Visual Studio experience : MetalScroll(blog.andrei.rinea.ro)

I've heard of RockScroll from Scott Hanselman a while ago in his blog entry. The Visual Studio plug-in basically replaces the vertical scroll bar with a real time thumbnail of the code. Plus it highlights words if you double-click them. It's niiiiceee!! I've soon downloaded it and used since then (more than a year).
However lacking the ease of using the window split, having parasyte double click highlightings and desynchronizing when you collapse a region of code annoyed me for a while...
Until today!!
Scott did it again and twitted about a good replacement for RockScroll : MetalScroll.
It does all RockScroll does plus :
* double-clicking the scrollbar brings up an options dialog where the color scheme and scrollbar width can be altered.
* the widget at the top of the scrollbar which splits the editor into two panes is still usable when the add-in is active.
* you must hold down ALT when double-clicking a word to highlight all its occurrences in the file. RockScroll highlights words on regular double-click, which can be annoying when you actually meant to use drag&drop text editing, for example when dragging a variable to the watches window.
