Here is a volume Selector that shows in the JWM tray

This mini-app is a must. It will download in 10 seconds even on dial-up. Just 6 K.

It's the perfect addition to the gplaycd-mini

You can configure it in /root/.jwmrc-tray. Right now it can receive the following parameters
-orientation [ vertical | horizontal ]
-mixer <mixer application>
-bg color

For a list of valid colours read this

for example

Excellent Mr Bond Smile

Works in Puppy2a8
The install alien package is a bit different (easier in fact) in Puppy2
You want the first small icon that talks about installing tarballs . . .

Does the volume image need to be transparent?

Thanks It's great.

Another challenge would be to connect the volume buttons (+ -) on multi-media keyboards to the slider and make it move.

Truly great!

It's getting to the point where jwm-config needs taskbar-applet management
added...
I wonder, maybe we should put all the taskbar applets in the same place, say
/usr/local/trayapps/, so the applet manager can find them easily and we wouldn't
have to have a fixed list.

Good idea, Barry.

I support.

Absolutely fantastic! It works perfectly so far and is so simple and elegant. This is a "must have" utility for any puppy user. Great work. Cool

Okay, it's now in Puppy2! Only thing I changed was make the background of the
gif transparent.

Thanks, rarsa. I've really wanted one of those. Smile

I've uploded a new version that responds to the mouse wheel

I had it 99% ready since a couple of days before Puppy2 but didn't have enough time to finish it then.

Now I've also added it to the subversion repository

rarsa,
in mini-volume.tcl, could you change this line:

Version 0.3

At the request of Barry changed it to use setvol instead of snack.

Fixed flickering on mouse wheel actions.

You can find the pupget at the top of this thread http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?p=51724#51724

Version 0.4

Download it from here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=51724#51724

Version 0.4 is not just a change of look with a nicer image. It also correctly displays the slider and hint when the tray at the top and changes the image according to the volume level. from Mute to High volume there are 4 different volume levels to display.

Changelog:
2007-01-14 - 18:56
- Fixed position of slider and hint when the tray is on the top
- Replaced image with images showing the volume level (High, medium, low, mute)

rarsa, how do we install it? It extracted as a directory, "mini volume-0.4," which I put in /root/my-applications for now.

It installs as a PupGet With the PupGet manager.

When you open the PupGet installer it is the second small button. It will let you choose a file to install.
