Description Diego Elio Pettenò 2004-01-28 16:38:21 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 3.2.3 
OS:          Linux

Hi,
using multimedia keyboard (such as mine Typhoon, configured as Logitech iTouch Navigator), the keys for volume and mute are managed by kmix (also if I didn't found a way to set this up for instance for using other keys or removing this association).
The problem is that the window which shows up on the screen when the key are presend is huge and disturb the view of xine or xawdecode (because with the 3.2 version also if set always on top modal windows are still on top of these).

Can be added a configuration for this window, or changed in a less intrusive one?
Also a configurable OSD-option TV-style will be great.

Thanks in advance

The indicator is actually from KMilo. You can turn it off in KControl->KDE components->Services manager, turn off the KMilo module. Then you'll be able to assign the shortcuts to KMix.

I second this bug report.  Especially when using a the Helix video player and you change the volume with the volume wheel on the keyboard, the volume indicator will obstruct the view of the video and the video will be just black where the indicator was until you move the player window.

In general its just really annoying and huge.

   That's a bug in Helix player and will not be worked around in KDE.  If your 
concern is kmilo's popup, either disable kmilo, or you'll have to wait until 
someone writes a new skin of a form that you prefer.

Not sure what the value of leaving this open is......

Disable it if you don't like it, or write a new skin the way you think it should be and I'll consider including it.
