Great!

Simple and very nice, except for the fact that it makes your slide bar go right when you press the arrow to the left (value property changes properly, i.e. going down).

Yes - this is a problem that really irritates me as well.

I can't figure out why this is at the moment, but if I do I'll post an update.

It doesn't seem to affect other programs e.g. VB.
