I'd like to submit slider-widget to ELPA.  It's just a small package that adds support for an interactive slider widget.

If there are no issues, I can push it straight to ELPA.

Any plans for making it more graphically-looking on GUI frames?

Not yet.  How do you mean "more graphically-looking"?  Different characters to make it look like an unbroken line, or an actual graphical object (like we have for buttons)?

The latter.  We should try to make Emacs modern-looking, which means
showing fancy, good-looking icons and small images instead of "ASCII
art", wherever possible and reasonable.  The ASCII fallback is fine
for TTY frames, of course.

Thanks.

I did a POC of graphical gtk sliders in the xwidget branch. I remember
there being some redrawing issues, but it sort of worked otherwise.

I often use whitespace with the :strike-through property for that.

Seems doable to use images instead of background/cursor strings for graphical displays, then fall back on text for text displays (or if the user/developer didn't specify images).
