Custom Slider widget with wxPython

Question

I would need to make a

slider = wx.Slider(self, 100, 25, 1, 100, (30, 60), (250, -1), wx.SL_HORIZONTAL)

have a transparent background (because it appears on a panel which has a non-uniform background).

More generally, how is it possible possible to change its look to something like this ?

(I am open to use .png files for the widget elements, if needed.)

No, wxWidgets uses native look and feel and native controls under Windows look like your top screenshot, not the bottom one. If you want to have a custom look, you really need to use a custom control.
