I looked into this, and it's definitely not a restriction in the GUI kit, as evidenced by this picture:

Pay your taxes

While one could be excused for mistaking this image as a screenshot from the world's first NetLogo-based, historical simu-drama (starring Christopher Walken as the downtrodden Spanish peasant, V. Widget), the /actual/ point here is that I created a half-baked development build of NetLogo where the sliders were taller. From this, we know that it's /possible/, but it would require NetLogo actually caring about the slider dimensions found in the '.nlogo' file, and then doing the math to keep the slider looking reasonable, regardless of the widget's height. This wouldn't require a /huge/ amount of effort, but I don't think it ends up having enough value added for the effort put in, to be worth us implementing this in the near future.

Very low priority inquiry:

The widget details at https://github.com/NetLogo/NetLogo/wiki/Widget-Format seem to suggest that all dimensions of a slider can be user set, but but only the length is user setable. Does this restriction derive from the underlying toolkit? If not, is it otherwise necessary?

Thanks.
