Hi jcurlz, whilst I don't like it sometimes it is the only source of solutions - dconf-editor - you will need to install this as it does not come pre-installed with Zorin. To install this open a terminal and enter:

sudo apt-get install dconf-tools
- this will place an application called 'dConf Editor' in your 'System Tools' folder:

Open this and go to:

Gnome | Settings-Daemon | Peripherals | Touchpad

There are no such settings in the mouse section - only 'touchpad' appears to have any scroll settings - not sure if this is what you are after or if helpful to you - sorry! :)

Hi,

see #5 here if that is what you mean:

http://www.noobslab.com/2013/10/tweakst ... ll-of.html

Or you can try Ubuntu Tweak: http://ubuntu-tweak.com/

I think you might find something under Tweaks > Miscellaneous but I am not sure!.

Regards Wolfman :D
