Custom slider background

[shuttlefan]

I inherited a vi that as the following indicator.   I'm able to update the min/max range  (as you can see from the value).  However, the background does not update.  It appears to be an image and thus can't adjusted.  

I've been trying to find a way to update the background but not coming up with anything.    

Any ideas how this was done?    

person that did it is no longer around for me to ask.

Yes, it's an image.

• Replace the whole indicator by a 2DPicture indicator and draw anything on your own using the picture functions…
• Remove the background image and make the slider background transparent. Place a 2DPicture behind that slider and only draw the blue/brown areas…

Thanks!  Will give it a try.
