here's my approach at this, a customized knob:
http://klingt.org/fileservice/downloads/08135152508907130-ol_knob_300418.zip
it needs some extrernals, but they are all mentioned in the helpfile
unfortunately it's limited to gifs (a Tcl/Tk restriction, it seems) and
not sizeable ;-(

this issue has been raised many times. to be honest i didn't really
understand the reasons either, but i am not a coder and i think we have
to live with it.
the good news is: you don't need the backslash inside PD.
all read/write messages work with slashes under windows !
(working with batch files called from PD (via motex' [system] external)
is a different beast ...)
