Trying to implement a custom UI element into Swing

Question

It's supposed to take values between +100 and -100 (or something like that), and display this visually like so: https://i.stack.imgur.com/LLaz6.jpg My first idea were progress bars, but they seem to be unable to start anywhere but the start, and I need it to start in the middle.

JSlider with custom background is more suitable than JProgressBar. See How to Use Sliders for some examples.
