I'm not sure about setting a fill color by default however, I think it
depends on the meaning of the slider. It makes sense when setting a
partition size or a sound volume, because there is a notion of full vs
empty, used vs unused, etc. part of the slider.
But I'd say there are cases where a slider is used as a way to compromise
between two extremes, where none of them is full or empty. For example,
the compression setting in JPEG is a compromise between "small size" and
"better quality". None of the setting is "full" or "empty", they are just
different choices. In that case, I see no justification for a filling
color.
I would even say that in this case, we should use the triangle marker,
rather than the rectangle block.
