I don't think you should use the middle button for anyting.
With scroll-button mouses (which everyone should use), the
middle button is very unconfortable. What about
some creative use of the scroll-wheel instead? The obvious
use is of course to change the value with the scroll-wheele.
I think that would be nice.

I can't trigger that, but the flickering is annoying.
How about double-buffering the thing?


Another thing, in some situations, I think I would prefer
that the fan is always at maximum size. Could that be
made as an option in the API?


Besides from that, very very nice! I'm thinking about using
it in my configuration code for SND. But the flickering
needs to be fixed.
