I really like your volume applet - especially the small amount of space that it takes up on the panel. I do have a feature request I'm not entirely certain is possible: Instead of bringing up a separate slider when the applet icon is clicked, would it be possible to directly adjust the volume depending on where on the icon it was clicked? The icon could then be the slider. However I'm not even sure if the rox api allows getting the location of the click... Cheers, -Kacper |

I'll check it out again sometime. Did you know about the scroll-wheel support? Just scroll up/down on the icon and it adjusts the volume. HTH, Ken |

I have two soundcards: an RME Digi96/8 PAD at hw:0 (being the default) and an on-board VIA 8235 at hw:1. The RME doesn't have a 'Master' Channel (in fact it has only one that's called 'DAC'). However, it works if I first choose 'Volume Options' from the appmenu, and enter 'DAC' into the 'Mixer Channel' entry. But would it be possible to detect the channel of the Soundcard at first start? Anyway, really nice applet! |

Yeah, one of my systems is like that too - which was probably why I put in the menus to get at the Options. I'll look into it. I should at least trap that error and put up a nicer error message. |

Only way to mute now (unless I am missing something) is to set the volume to 0. Another possible way to mute would be to accept a double click on the icon. Where a single click would bring up a volume slider, a double click could mute/unmute alternately. Of course, you'd need a different icon to show the mute state.

I'll rethink it a > bit. Here's a thought. Continue to use 0 volume as the mute. When mute is selected with Volume, save the current volume to perhaps the options.xml file and then set current volume to 0 and change the icon. When mute is unselected, restore the volume from the options.xml file, restore the normal icon including volume level, and off you go. You don't need to worry about an interface to the device mute that way. -- Peter +++++ Do not reply to this email, it is a spam trap and not monitored.
