+/**
+ * Material3 version 1.3.0 introduced several modifications to the Slider component.
+ * These changes may require adjustments to maintain the desired appearance and behavior in your app:
+ * - Thumb size changed to 4dp x 44dp - changed back to old 20dp x 20dp.
+ * - Thumb requires interactionSource - it must be different than Slider to not update thumb appearance during drag.
+ * - Track now draws stop indicator by default - turned off.
+ * - Track adds thumbTrackGapSize - set back to 0dp.
+ * - Track has different height than previously - changed back to old 4.dp.
