$GOD should kill the developer instead. Or at least send an electrical

trembling and gasping for air for at least a few minutes.
For darktable we examined the slider from phat and
created a similar
new, more usable widget which combines a label and a slider. You can
enter precise value after a right click inside the slider area, and
you can use pretty much anything as displayed unit: %, ", dB, px...
whatever. Here is an example:
Not a real solution. You now have a value that is not represented
by a slider position. Touching the slider will destroy it with no
way to return to it except by typing the value again. There are
tricks to avoid that, but they introduce new problems.
