The scrollbar was placed inside the padded tile grid, leaving a gap above it (below the tabs) and beside it (before the window edge). Give the scrollbar its own viewport spanning the full panel between the tabs and footer, flush to the right window edge, like the Devices/Music apps. The tile grid keeps its margins and simply reserves the scrollbar width plus a gap on its right. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Ideology
The goal of the MontaukOS project is to create a modern and unique operating system that runs on both emulators and on real hardware. The kernel and included userspace applications are written in modern C++.
History and methodology
Development started in early 2025, with the first published GitHub commit being on Feb 27, 2025. In early 2026, Claude Opus 4.6 began being used to accelerate development of the kernel and userspace.
