I generally agree and I will update the API to reflect this, so the slider range becomes 0-1 by default with a step size of 0 to keep it consistent with the progress bar.
However, there is one minor problem with this. I would argue 0-100 is more human friendly. Especially considering how certain implementations show a formatted text label over the slider handle. Before it would be in a human readable range, but now the default slider will show a random floating point value. Ideally that should perhaps show percentage or at the very least limited to one decimal place. Right now it is just floored to an integer and the default slider label looks a bit odd. Not really a big argument against the shorter range, but it does make it look a bit odd as a default configuration. Jens wrote: > A slider with max value 1 makes perfect sense.
