I understand. But applying a pattern to the whole thing
would add visual noise making it harder to read. Might also
look like it would be draggable as one part.
Applying a pattern to the 'positive' part would break the
notion that it's one unfiform clickable area.

The size would be case by case decision (layout matters, importance,
value range). But there could be some recommended standard sizes.

Than fan could expand much quicker even linear. But a good idea, would
need to be tested with an implementation.
