Zoom slider properties

[SamirGambhir]

Hello,
Is it possible to use zoom slider properties to insert a small graphic rectangle behind zoom slider but on top of map (i.e. between map and slider)? CSS's z-index property might help but I am not sure if we can specify a value for this property using "esri.config.defaults.map.slider.
Thanks
Samir

i know we use

esri.config.defaults.map.sliderLabel = {labels:null,style:"width:2em; font-family:Verdana; font-size:75%;",tick:0};

to get rid of labels in Opera (where they cause problems) so it seems as if you can do inline styling.  Maybe you can set a background-image for the slider using the style tag?
