> option somewhere buried

That’s what I did. Made it slide by default (because I hate trying to twist a virtual knob). I briefly had a translucent rectangle popup when the control was in slider mode but it turned out not to be helpful as linear dragging seemed to make sense to everyone and I only had like eight options in total.

The one nice innovation I had was automatically detecting horizontal or vertical drags - useful for things like pan controls where a horizontal motion makes more sense.
