It could look exactly like it looks now: the rectangle with 'the slider' invisible, but there may be no such a gtk widget? I find slider more comfortable than spinbox, but that may be just my own preference.
I also thought at first that I would prefer a slider. But then I asked myself, why exactly is slider better? The answer was simply that a slider allows to quickly, in one move, set the value to 1 or 0 (i.e. ends of scale), and also to quickly - but very approximately - set it to "low" or "mid" or "high". For everything else a spinbutton is better. So I decided to combine the advantages: I used a spinbutton but added a right-click menu that has commands for 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1. Also by middle-clicking on the O: label you can quickly set it to 0, 0.5, or 1.
BTW, just curious: what makes ctrl+shift+f load relatively slow?
Marker previews. If you're not using markers, remove marker.svg and it will be faster.
