Is it possible to place slider vertically? I need it to manage position of my window shutter.
ThanX a lot! That is exactly what I need.
hmm - there was me thinking a tall thin shape would be an obvious thing to try... ah well..
Will add some extra words to the info.
I mean it is, but most people are so conditioned to crap like toggles and checkboxes that they don't experiment. Perhaps I should restate it as "too intuitive to feel true."

Should just work if height > width
I came from openhab2. In their ui there is a checkbox for vertical slider. So you are right, it's too intuitive to try 
And also checkbox for reverse (if you want to have 100 on top and 0 on bottom). Any ideas is it possible to reverse?
I had same dilemma in my mind for that Level widget I do currently. Checkbox vs height <> width. Hopefully it will be sorted out here? 
Both ways are good if it's described in doc.
It will be obvious in case of click and drag inside UI for size change of the widget

Updated version in master branch (github not npm)
npm i node-red/node-red-dashboard
With more text in info and ability to be automatically reversed by setting min > max.

For those interested, I made an alternative vertical slider with a console fader look.

Hi again!
I added a neat flow to automate the vertical console faders position and specify the fading time, might be useful for dashboards controlling volume or lighting intensity for example.
