The reason that I use this widget is to set up a very large initial value
which
will be adjusted by 1 unit steps around it and at the same time comparing a
result visually
with other variables. Yes you're right the text widget with two arrow
widgets
have the same functionality without the gfloat problem ! I think this is the
best
solution without addindg a new widget or :( editing the library source.
Thanks.
