## Events

The component emits `slide` event when the slider position is changed by user.

## Styling

Some styling techniques and ideas can be found in [examples](https://img-comparison-slider.sneas.io/examples.html).

The component elements like the default handle or the separator line could be styled using CSS3 variables.

Example:

```html
<style type="text/css">
  img-comparison-slider {
    --divider-width: 2px;
    --divider-color: #c0c0c0;
    --default-handle-opacity: 0.3;
  }
</style>
```
