SUMMARY
Much like Elisa does in https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/elisa/-/blob/master/src/qml/VolumeSlider.qml, we could remove the ticks in the day/night color temperature slider by using a similar abstraction by slightly tweaking the file to remove odd properties we may not need (like the 'muted' property).

Moreover, I already had written some tests for this component, so we could reuse them to make sure this does not backfire:

https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/elisa/-/blob/master/autotests/qmltests/tst_VolumeSlider.qml

I believe this would make it more pleasant to the eye, because there are so many ticks in the bar (see https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FbuYGS1X0AM0Yo6?format=png&name=900x900).

No information would be lost for fine-tuners as there is a value alongside the slider showing it.

I would do it myself but I am far too busy these days, so I'm sharing the idea in case someone was to start developing for Plasma and wanted a path to follow.

That's fair.

Ultimately I'd like to see a totally custom slider background that shows the color internally.

They're gone now.
