The default Claro zoom slider control is pretty boring.

It's also hard to see on top of many basemaps:

Are there any examples of some nice customisations I could use for inspiration?

I like ArcGIS slider over other sliders from tech-giants. There is a lot you can do with dojo!

Check out Ocean Charts from NOAA. They use Flex, have nice transitions and have managed to pack most map navigation functions in one slider. I especially like the back button, something every map designer should consider!

If your app supports multiple base-maps (google, bing maps), and want to create a custom slider, you have consistency issues to consider

Change the value you're passing for basemap in the BasemapToggle constructor from:

basemap: 'Local',

to:

basemap: 'local'

(i.e. a lowercase 'L'). Then it'll render right off the bat. I think the value has to match exactly with the thing you put into esriConfig.defaults.map.basemaps.
