nifty volume control for jwm

There is one bug I know of - the first click might open the volume slider under a window

I was worried some pixels went out on my screen when I got a black box....later I found a copy of the mixer icon next to it. This happens if you reload windows manager.
Don't loose sleep over this....but I've got the slider at 88% right now and XMMS playing, with tc-mixer offering the option to "UNMUTE"....the toggle is pretty easy to outsmart. (edit: IMHO the first version without the balloon message....just fade when muted....is far superior....)
I really liked the simple right-click mute function on the former version. I can't think of why I need to exit the mixer enough to have to read and click every time I want a simple mute. (how about an options menu to choose colors for the icon?......NOT!..)
edit: maybe unconventional...but you could keep the neat right click mute on/off feature by putting the exit option under the slider.....no time lost, since you have to click on it anyway... I like that feature enough to keep the older version...
Thanks for the source....basic C++ stuff.
Edit: oops...the icon moved off the dock, I guess when I changed windows. It's sitting about 2 inches off the left corner of the screen. I have the "MOI" version running...
Edit2: I have a strong hunch there's some conflicts....I've had several freeze-ups related to sound since loading tc-mixer; last was when I clicked on the play button for xmms. I rarely see a freeze on this system.
curaga:
Heh, I know I should've disabled the slider when muted ;)
The middle-click mute still works like it did in 0.4, now just right-click has been reassigned.
Sound freezes.. hmm, I didn't see any when testing, but I'll see what I can do.

Meanwhile, there's a new version :)
Changes:
* Hopefully fixed sound freezes
* Mute more intelligent
* Re-dock switch for Jwm restarts
