Settings Slider Control

The settings slider control is used in the settings screens for when an option is best specified on a sliding scale. You can choose the position, size, and look of the slider control. It is basically a cross between the button control and a slider control. It has a label and focus and non focus textures, as well as a slider control on the right.

Available tags

In addition to the Default Control Tags the following tags are available. Note that each tag is lower case only. This is important, as xml tags are case-sensitive.
