I can not find how to do this. When using Manipulation, it automatically shows a little “+” at the end of the control, as shown below:
Manipulate[x,
{{x, 0, "x"}, 0, 1, .1, Appearance -> "Labeled"}
]

Now I want to directly configure the control with Dynamic and make it look like the one above: (By the way, thanks to Simon for displaying the correct syntax for this here
Manipulate[x,
{{xChanged, False}, None},
Grid[{
{"x ",
Slider[Dynamic[x, (x =
Spacer[2],
Dynamic@x
}
}, Frame -> None, Spacings -> {0.2, 0.1}, Alignment -> Center]
]

Now the only thing missing is the "+". I cannot use the AppearanceElement options in the above. So next time I tried this
Manipulate[x,
{{xChanged, False}, None},
Grid[{
{"x ",
Animator[Dynamic[x, (x =
AnimationRunning -> False], Spacer[2],
Dynamic@x
}
}, Frame -> None, Spacings -> {0.2, 0.1}, Alignment -> Center]
]
