Hacked this together today. What it does is basically enable the mousewheel over the construction/research/build menus so you can scroll through the pages without having to click the "tab buttons".
The cosmetic issues have been resolved. Me and Josh have been testing it out, and everything seems to be working OK
Thank you I'll look into adding mousewheel support to the object menu (at the bottom of the screen) later. Played a skirmish with the patched version and it really makes things flow better, and it's actually quite precise when it comes to jumping to a specific tab
