Hi

Can you tell me how to use a sliderex for own skin strings.
I tried a lot of things, but the slider always shows percentage and triggers no event on moving.

i'd like to:
set the slider for my own int range.
set the value from skin.string (int)
set the skin string on moving the slider.

there are some solutions for me?

You can only use a slider for volume or seek afaik:

If you need to set a custom numeric value, use a keypad:

i'd like to use a slider to set a transparent level for black background texture as dimmer. the dimmer only should work for backgrounds, not foreground graphics.
