Some components works with 0 in the middle and -100 and 100 as extremes.
Example, now I'm working with Squash in the Scale component.
0 is the center.
-100 and 100 are the extremes.
It says to use an IntSlider or a Grayscale Control.
Better to forgot the Grayscale Control, because it only fits in special cases.
IntSlider can't be set as "-100 to 0 to 100". Only as "1 to 100".
Sorry to be critical, but I don't understand why there are many controls using the setting "-100 to 0 to 100" and no Slider set like this.
Yes, we can use an IntSlider to do the same thing with "1 to 100 to 200", but sometimes it doesn't seem to work well.
We can use Remapping.....
But...
...it would be useful to have a Slider with -100 to 100 settings.
( Value Control could be a good option, but FF doesn't accept it. It gives error, if we connect it ).

Example :
Now I want to set a value of -88.
I use an IntSlider with value between 1 and 200 at 12..... the result is different.
I try with value 11 or 13 and the result is different too.
I try an IntSlider with Remapping. Value between -100 and 100.
Setting the IntSlider at 12 should be ok, but........... the remapping goes at -88.94. The result is different...........
And it doesn't accept values as 12.5 or 12.6..... Just 12 or 13 or 11........

So....... the chances are :
1) I set the value of -88 as fixed value ( in my filter is not a good choice ).
The user can't customize it.
2) I accept a different look, not like I was thinking, and I give the chance to change it ( anyway the user will never be able to reach the result I got, except detaching the IntSlider and inserting the -88 value ).

My opinion?
We need a different kind of Slider for every value setting.
- 0 to 100 = Slider
- 1 to X = IntSlider
- -100 to 100 = ?
And, we could cut the Checkbox Control. I don't see the need to have a special control for the cases of only two choices. Isn't the IntSlider enough for those cases too?

?? It shouldn't tell you to use an IntSlider.
We've requested bipolar sliders before but we never got them.

Yes, a bipolar slider would be the best option.
