Volume Icon

Volume Icon aims to be a lightweight volume control that sits in your systray. It is often used in conjuction with the lightweight tint2 panel/taskbar.

Features

• Change volume by scrolling on the systray icon
• Ability to choose which channel to control
• Several icon themes (with gtk theme as default)
• Configurable external mixer
• Volume Slider
• Hotkey support

Installation from sources

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install 

Configuration

--enable-notify:         Enables notifications, this adds a dependency for libnotify >= 0.5.0.
--enable-oss:            By default Volume Icon will be built with ALSA as its backend. Note that it is not possible
                         to build with both ALSA and OSS support at the moment, so using this flag will disable
                         ALSA support.
--with-oss-include-path: Location of soundcard.h, defaults first to the value specified in /etc/oss.conf. If that
                         does not exist it defaults to /usr/lib/oss/include/sys.

Requirements

• gtk2 >= 2.16.0
• alsa-lib
