I utilise scrollbars because they eliminate the need for buttons on the left and right sides of a slider to increase and decrement the slider. The scrollbar also has an auto-repeat option built in. I skinned the scrollbar properly, and I can now print values within the thumb. They are, for the most part, highly effective. Having said that, I did had that issue, which looks to be resolved by adding the GUI Exec command ().
Yeah, it's definitely not the ideal method, but I'd been working with sliders for months and decided this was a nicer aesthetic, plus the scrollbar added to the product's usefulness.
