By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Calvin Morrison 2012-02-14 09:19:27 CST

to maximise information in accordance with Trinity's HCI goals, our KMix tray 
icon should be modified to show the level of volume. knetworkmanager does it 
for wifi, kpowesave for battery, kmix should have it as well.

This will help us be able to see the status of the volume more clearly.

I like this idea. Currently knowing the volume level requires at least one mouse click to view the slider button, which only provides a general idea of the volume level rather than specific. Not a show stopper, but a number written across the icon, much like Akregator shows the number of new feeds, would be nice.

Possibly too add a "one-click restore" option. For example, I keep my volume output at 51%, which for me works well for my music listening with Amarok. Yet often when I listen to an online video I need to crank the volume to almost 100% to hear the audio. After I watch the video I want to restore the volume to my preferred 51%.

Xine has an option to restore the volume when exiting. Possibly that feature could be imitated. Kaffiene has a toggle button to simulate a TV remote control to toggle between two TV stations. Something similar to that might work too.

I personally like the kpowersave-style vertical progress bar for showing this kind of information.  Advantages/disadvantages compared to text?

Comment 4 Darrell 2012-05-21 11:46:14 CDT

I don't know --- I don't use kpowersave. Do you have a screen grab?
