Well, I thought VID is gonna be something like widgets, providing us with
basic components. My general experience with higher complexity stuff is -
it's nice to have but always missing feature you would like to have. ....
and then you will seee tones of modifications, often leading to kludgy

btw: advanced scrollers/sliders were requested already several months
