Description Wolfram Manthey

The Scale widget's API does not allow to set the number of tick markers (e.g.
fixed every 10 increments @win32). This looks ugly for non-multiple maxima and
limits the graphical indication.

A setTicks method would help and is applicable natively for most platforms.

I'll look into that. If you know how to implement this API on win32,carbon, 
gtk, motif, or photon and you want to colaborate you can do that. Thanks.

I can look after win32 and photon implementations. (eventually carbon)
