Description Jarne Cook 2003-05-15 06:41:53 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.1a)
Installed from:    Debian stable Packages

Nothing is more annoying (well thats debatable) than haviing to use the volume icon to change the volume when noatun is just there

Please add a volume slider to the "Simple" interface.

Maybe a "Volume Slider" should be made in which would look different to the default (and FAT) slider

This is a patch for the Noatun Simple interface proposed by Oliver Bausinger.
What do you think? I don't know a better solution, but somehow it doesn't fit
the rest of the UI.

This is a another patch for the Noatun Simple interface. It uses a popup volume
slider which pops up when you press the volume button or change the volume
using the "media keys" on your Logitech keyboard. Any (other) suggestions?

I like the appearance of the popup one.

The popup is the way to go.  

Dont forget to allow the button to support buttons 4 and 5 (scrolly).

patch for KDE-3.1.2

Thanks for the feedback Charles and Jarne. I have created a patch for this, but
unfortunately, the volume button doesn't work as expected. I would like the
button to toggle the slider on and off, but pressing the volume button always
pops up the slider again. Anyone with a suggestion on how to accomplish this
using Qt-3.1.2?

TIA.

Have you seen the way Mac's quicktime player does it.

Pressing the button pops up a vertical scrollbar, and the scrolly is already pressed.  

Perhaps it would be possible to make a special button (kbuttonPopupVolume or something) that 
when you press the button and go up/down with the mouse ... the volume bar is adjusted.  
So essentiall the volume is realy just graphical feedback and cant be clicked on by the mouse 
because as soon as the mouse is realease the popup/volumebar disapears.  Just a thought.

Im not familiar with qt/kde libs (yet ... but im working on it).  but it sounds like you need some 
extra code that says "if already poped up, hidepopup() else showpopup()"

Cleaning up my bugs
noatun has a volume button ... that'll do
