I like this approach as long as there isn't too much 'visual noise'. IMHO - Global menu bar and the new overlay scrollbar have (right now) the same UX problem: 1. MOVE cursor to desired area 2. »identify target« & MOVE cursor to it 3. interaction In the end you move your mouse twice before your able to interact (click). This its a real UX problem because you have often to preform this 'aiming task'. The fade-in approaches could work for the global menu bar. But I see difficulties to solve the problem for the overlay scrollbar because they are not visible enough while aiming (compare to the old scrollbar).
