Feature request - Realworld Paint - scroll right pane with mouse

I noticed that when you use the mouse wheel, you can zoom in on the image.
When i move the mouse cursor to the pane on the right, it would be nice if the mouse wheel would, instead of zooming the image, scroll the pane on the right up or down.
This would especially be confenient on screens that do not have a lot of vertical space, such as the screen of small netbooks (1024x600).

I understand the problem and how irritating it could be on a notebook to scroll the pane. The solution would require a low level mouse hook, because the focused window receives all mouse messages. I tend to be careful with these low level heavy calibers.

My long term idea for this pane was to get rid of the scrolling altogether and automatically close panels that would not fit. Something like the panels in Outlook. On large display, you would still see all; on a small one, the application will try to keep the last used panels open and close those that do not fit.

Yes, i agree, automatically closing panels would be an even better solution.
