+// scrollbar_fix_darwin.m - Runtime patch to disable scrollbars on VZ display window
+//
+// The Code-Hex/vz library wraps VZVirtualMachineView in an NSScrollView with
+// scrollbars hardcoded to YES (for their zoom feature). This causes ~16px of
+// the VM display to be cut off by scrollbar gutters.
+//
+// This file uses Objective-C method swizzling to intercept NSScrollView's
+// setDocumentView: method and disable scrollbars when the document view is
+// a VZVirtualMachineView.
+//
+// This is a temporary workaround until Code-Hex/vz adds a configuration option
+// to disable scrollbars. See: https://github.com/Code-Hex/vz/issues/XXX
+
+#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
