I usually go with the Blacet style of little dots.  It puts *something* on
the panel to make it feel less empty, but doesn't clutter with complexity.
I will occasionally put numbers or detailed markings on something, but thats
usually where its a non-linear scale or something where the numbers are
actually important.
