Scrollbar improvements

So on AH mules and similar the same thing that is the biggest improvement for Inbox (scrollable, mouse-scrollable) is also a problem because it's hard to see which ones you've already mouse-overed when you scroll.

You can always use the up/down buttons on the scrollbar to scroll by a fixed amount but I thought it would be convenient to have a visual indicator of your current offset for you when you're using the scrollwheel to scroll.

So I added the scroll offset to the scrollbar thumb
image

The code to do this is in 2 places.
In the embedded tekScrollbar.lua file the section starting line 62 changed to

f:SetThumbTexture("Interface\\Buttons\\UI-ScrollBar-Knob")
local thumb = f:GetThumbTexture()
thumb:SetWidth(16) thumb:SetHeight(24)
thumb:SetTexCoord(1/4, 3/4, 1/8, 7/8)
local ofs = f:CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY", "GameFontWhiteTiny")
local font,h = ofs:GetFont(); h = floor(h+0.5)
ofs:SetFont(font,h,"OUTLINE")
ofs:SetAllPoints(thumb)
f.offset = ofs

In GnomishInboxShrinker.lua updating the BetterInbox:UpdateInboxScroll() to

function BetterInbox:UpdateInboxScroll()
	if self.scroll then
		local numitems = GetInboxNumItems()
		local offset = self.scroll:GetValue()

		self.scroll:SetMinMaxValues(0, math.max(0, numitems-NUMROWS))

		for i,row in pairs(rows) do
			local index = i + offset
			if index <= numitems then row:Update(index)
			else row:Hide() end
		end
		self.scroll.offset:SetText(format("%02d",tostring(offset)))
	end
end
