Bug Description

This is a request to extend the existing <SliderComposed> widget functionality to allow for sequential <Slider> background images, like we have it in the <Knob> widget.

This would combine the best from both worlds. <Slidercomposed> works horizontal or vertical and allows scaling [1], while <Knob> can load sequential images.

Usage
-------
* A progress bar can indicate, well progress, if space is tight e.g. replacing the small waveform overview and its tiny play position indicator.
* A progress bar slider can improve visibility by a factor. Currently it is hard to see the actual position of the line/crossfader handle at a glance.
* A progress bar slider can also replace a rotary knob, if necessary.

Example (crossfader)

I've implemented a different approach for WKnobComposed in PR #645 (https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/645).
I added an additional Pixmap that is masked according to the position of the knob.

Would something like this suit your needs?
