The second element should
be an image that will act as
the custom slider icon.
Drag the image widget onto
the canvas, select the image
of your choice, and place it
on top of the slider bar.
Note: if the image widget is
not on the front, use the
outline panel to move it
forward.

Set the left movement to
‘With cursor‘ to allow the icon
to move horizontally.
Set the top movement to
‘Current‘ so the slider icon

when dragging the custom
slider icon.
Mark the ‘Constraint by
parent container‘ checkbox to
ensure the image does not
move past the bounds of the
