Many thanks to Ed Dickens and David Boyd for their help.

Does anyone have an example of a slider which is wider at the high end, like the volume control in a media player?

They offered various solutions mainly modifying the

In LabVIEW 8 (OK I only checked 8.20) the cursor properties have been improved such that you can directly relate the mouse cursor position to a plot location. You should now be able to achieve the same effect you have there without using the invisible slider. That said, I like your custom control. This could be a good use case for an X Control too!

Another thought I had was to keep the invisible slider and have that positioned on top of an array of verticle fill bars. You could manipulate the values of the verticle sliders based on the position of the horizontal one. By adding two sliders on each verticle fill bar, you can set two fill colors. The limitation is that your resolution would be fixed at range in values divided by the number of verticle sliders. The advantage is less use of property nodes.

Good job!
