Description Viktor Reiser 2009-08-19 15:21:45 UTC

Version:           3.5 (using KDE 4.3.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I think there nothing more to say: There is no option in kmix to disable the OSD when I use my Hotkeys to change the volume.

Why I want to do that:
- Flash fullscreen terminates
- Flash lags generally
- I don't need that ;-)

Would be really great if you could add this feature!

Comment 1 Viktor Reiser 2009-08-19 20:11:56 UTC

Okay, it's not enough to just disable the OSD, flash lacks anyway (I commented out the listing in the method showVolumeDisplay in kmix.cpp).
Nevertheless I prefer changing the volume without OSD ;-)

enable/disable volume osd in kmix settings

this patch adds an option to the kmix settings, which allows the user to enable/disable the volume osd.

Comment 3 Marvin 2009-08-26 16:39:24 UTC

oh, i forgot:
kmix from kde 4.3.0

Comment 4 Viktor Reiser 2009-09-03 12:21:10 UTC

Thanks a lot for writing this patch!

Comment 5 Simon S. 2009-10-02 11:57:49 UTC

I take up the same issue. It would be great if the option was available by default, because several forums have people asking the same question, even under different desktop environments.

Can we please have that patch included in the factory version?

Comment 6 Jaromir Smrcek 2009-11-28 12:30:10 UTC

Please include this patch Let's not go the MS way!

P.S. I already voted, one more user to make it confirmed IIRC.

Comment 8 Christian Esken 2011-08-09 20:44:23 UTC

If I remember correctly somebody offered to do this. But I don't see it yet, so it is either canceled or will be don later.

Comment 9 Wyatt Epp 2011-12-24 08:36:13 UTC

Does this patch still apply cleanly?  It's been two years...  Nevertheless, I'd like this too-- sometimes the OSD renders multiple seconds after the volume changes for me anyway.

Comment 10 hipersayan_x 2012-03-07 19:05:34 UTC

This is the worst feature ever. I want an option to disable it. I hate when I'm watching a movie and I get that annoying dialog when I change the volume.
3 years since somebody reported this bug. Why no one has fixed yet?
Sorry if my comment may sound harsh, but it's true.

Comment 13 Christian Esken 2012-09-28 13:04:02 UTC

Due to recent changes I couldn't simply apply the patch from Marvin.  But the change I did is quite similar.
