I like the sliderbutton, but I think it'd be nicer
and easier to read
with some kind of graphical representation of the value as well.
There's so much horizontal empty space there behind the text labels, why
not put a 'progress bar' in the background? That would make it really
nice for pan widgets etc.
For an example of that see Ardour's widgets for panning and plugin
parameter controls. They work fairly well, a double click
will change the area into a text entry (spinner too) for direct
value entry. Holding control increases the resolution of change.
In fact the sliderbutton really just seems to lack the visual
indication of "sliderness", and i think adding it as Dave suggested
would be a good addition (or make a new widget).
