As RoyalGriffin mentioned, you can use highlighter_coachmark library, and I am also aware of the error you are getting, the error is there because you are using RangeSlider class which is imported from 2 different packages. Can you try this example in your app and check if it is working?

1. Add highlighter_coachmark to your pubspec.yaml file

   dependencies:
     flutter:
       sdk: flutter
   
     highlighter_coachmark: ^0.0.3
   

2. Run flutter packages get

Example:

import 'package:highlighter_coachmark/highlighter_coachmark.dart';

void main() => runApp(MaterialApp(home: HomePage()));

class HomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  State<HomePage> createState() => _HomePageState();
}

class _HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {
  GlobalKey _fabKey = GlobalObjectKey("fab"); // used by FAB
  GlobalKey _buttonKey = GlobalObjectKey("button"); // used by RaisedButton

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        key: _fabKey, // setting key
        onPressed: null,
        child: Icon(Icons.add),
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: RaisedButton(
          key: _buttonKey, // setting key
          onPressed: showFAB,
          child: Text("RaisedButton"),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }

  // we trigger this method on RaisedButton click
  void showFAB() {
    CoachMark coachMarkFAB = CoachMark();
    RenderBox target = _fabKey.currentContext.findRenderObject();

    // you can change the shape of the mark
    Rect markRect = target.localToGlobal(Offset.zero) & target.size;
    markRect = Rect.fromCircle(center: markRect.center, radius: markRect.longestSide * 0.6);

    coachMarkFAB.show(
      targetContext: _fabKey.currentContext,
      markRect: markRect,
      children: [
        Center(
          child: Text(
            "This is called\nFloatingActionButton",
            style: const TextStyle(
              fontSize: 24.0,
              fontStyle: FontStyle.italic,
              color: Colors.white,
            ),
          ),
        )
      ],
      duration: null, // we don't want to dismiss this mark automatically so we are passing null
      // when this mark is closed, after 1s we show mark on RaisedButton
      onClose: () => Timer(Duration(seconds: 1), () => showButton()),
    );
  }

  // this is triggered once first mark is dismissed
  void showButton() {
    CoachMark coachMarkTile = CoachMark();
    RenderBox target = _buttonKey.currentContext.findRenderObject();

    Rect markRect = target.localToGlobal(Offset.zero) & target.size;
    markRect = markRect.inflate(5.0);

    coachMarkTile.show(
      targetContext: _fabKey.currentContext,
      markRect: markRect,
      markShape: BoxShape.rectangle,
      children: [
        Positioned(
          top: markRect.bottom + 15.0,
          right: 5.0,
          child: Text(
            "And this is a RaisedButton",
            style: const TextStyle(
              fontSize: 24.0,
              fontStyle: FontStyle.italic,
              color: Colors.white,
            ),
          ),
        )
      ],
      duration: Duration(seconds: 5), // this effect will only last for 5s
    );
  }
}

You can use this library to help you achieve what you need. It allows you to mark views which you want to highlight and how you want to highlight them.
