Well, after try my friend Macbook with the new OS X Lion (10.7) few days ago, I’m little bit confuse about the scroll direction. Is it reverse? I think it more exactly called by iOS Style or Natural Scrolling. Apple include this style in their new OS X Lion as well as iOS (iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad) system before. It change the new experience of scrolling windows more natural. Unfortunately, Mac OS X that release before Lion doesn’t have this feature.

I’ve been curious how can I implementing iOS Scrolling Style that now implemented in Lion (10.7) to my Snow Leopard (10.6.8). After search a few minutes, I’ve found a project named Scroll Reverser that developed by pilotmoon.com. Scroll Reverser is a free app for Mac OS X that reverses the direction of scrolling. You can use it with OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard to make your scrolling match the ‘natural scrolling’ in Lion.

You can also use it with OS X Lion to customise scrolling behaviour beyond what is possible in system preferences, for example to reverse the trackpad but not the mouse.
