<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>This causes problems because they are all positioned on the
screen different and have different graphics that make up the control.&nbsp; It
takes a lot of javascript and CSS code to support doing this well for 3
seperate graphics.&nbsp; What we are proposing to do is migrate this to one
look that will work for any color scheme.&nbsp; Our initial thoughts would be
to take the blue one and convert it to grey scale.&nbsp; Then add some cool
mouseover effects to the control.&nbsp; Then change the way it behaves.&nbsp;
For example each tick on the slider would be set to a map scale defined by the
developer in the configuration.js file.&nbsp; That way it is simplier code to
deal with.&nbsp; Then a user can slide the zoom bar and it would snap to a tic
and zoom the map to that defined scale.&nbsp; Do users think this would work
for them?</span></font></p>

want to contribute a new graphics for the slider control or has ideas for a new
one.&nbsp; There are a lot of other nice ones out there but the graphics are
not open for us to use and distribute (i.e. google, yahoo, microsoft, mapquest,

but once again the graphics are not available for us to use.&nbsp; The only

anyone has a good graphic arts background maybe they could create one for us to
