Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I just want a volume bar, but I don't want it to have numbers floating on top?

Describe the solution you'd like
The non-breaking solution would be to let value accept floating point AND empty strings.
Imho, the better solution would be to create a separate field called display(or label) that accepts a string.
(and optionally gives the value by argument, $0)

Additional context
If this doesn't end up being implemented? Please tell me how to style this.

The easier alternative here is just to add a show_label option which you can set to false to hide the label. GTK doesn't really offer much control over the label beyond that.

uhh, why exactly is this closed? is the new option just not documented?
Although I did find a workaround. Just remeove it in css!

scale value {
	color: #77a5bf;
	font-size: 0px;
}

I'm not sure myself, I checked the code and there is no show_label option added, all the code in the PR seems to be related to a step option.
