:-O Oh!! Cool!
But I can also easily imagine a situation in which an author decides
not to have it showing, but I as a user would benefit from slabbing.
That's why I think the mouse gestures are very good.
If I were to do a slider my inclination would be to say that it always
appeard when you were in 'slab on' mode.
If the author did not want to offer it by default, you could turn it on
via the popup menu.
I think you have completely resolved my doubts about the slider. Nifty
stuff!

I have not had the time yet to try out version 10.00.22 but want to
bring another point into the discussion.
It may be more comfortable to use a slider for controlling slab, but any
control popping up in the applet window has a disadvantage: it needs a
more or less big part of the window, disturbing the view of the
structures shown. Especially if someone wants to make a screenshot it
might be annoying and would at least require additional steps to get it
out of the image.
So I would suggest that the slider should get its own switch for hiding
it without switching slab off. By default it could be switched on so
that it would be shown if slab is switched on.

Rolf
