Photoshop-ify the Web

With all the new shadow and glow effects in CSS3, the web's starting to feel more and more like Photoshop. The only thing I really miss are the sliders. Firebug lets you see style changes quickly, but changing a property value by keying it in will never be as good as visualizing the whole range by dragging it from low to high. You'll always zero in on the sweet spot much faster that way.

I don't like GUI tools being used where text-based ones will suffice, but this seems like one area where it's hard to avoid them.
