That looks interesting. I take it you removed the fan drawing code?

What about imprecise but fine grained adjustments?

If not, would adding a modifier such as [shift] for finer grained
movement of the slider be considered? It probably would be unimportant
for darktable, but in an audio application where adjustmented has
immediate affect on the audio stream it would certainly be useful.

(It was a feature requested during discussion on petri-foo-devel about
the phat fan sliders and the problems with converting them to cairo).
