I tried this and it refused to resize below 2 by 8 on a hslider which  
is too bad cause using line to make it morph is a really cool idea.

Maybe you could reuse the same gui objects for different parameters  
by changing the send (see attached patch). The big problem with this  
is storing the settings and having them recalled when you move from  
one parameter to another.
