Is there any way within Manipulate to make a slider appear as either a 
filled rectangle topped by a triangle -- a shape very roughly like this
       ^
      | |
       _
-- or as just a filled triangle or vertical arrow?
What about in a more general expression using an explicit Slider?
I ask this because the help gives the following example --
   Table[Slider[0.5, Appearance -> a], {a, {"UpArrow", "DownArrow"}}]
-- but I see absolutely no differences in the results as from not using 
the Appearance option at all.
