PNMixer
PNMixer is a simple mixer application designed to run in your system tray. It integrates nicely into desktop environments that don't have a panel that supports applets, and therefore can't run a mixer applet. In particular it's been used quite a lot with fbpanel and tint2, but should run fine in any system tray.
PNMixer is a fork of OBMixer with a number of additions. These include:
- Volume adjustment with the scroll wheel
- Select which ALSA device and channel to use
- Detect disconnect from sound system and re-connect if requested
- Bind and use HotKeys for volume control
- Texual display of volume level in popup window
- Continous volume adjustment when dragging the slider (not just when you let go)
- Draw a volume level onto system tray icon
- Use system icon theme for icons and use mute/low/medium/high volume icons
- Configurable middle click action
- Preferences for:
- volume text display
- volume text position
- icon theme
- amount to adjust per scoll
- middle click action
- drawing of volume level on tray icon
