Hello there,

the sound-control applet has a choice between merely 3 icons: normal, muted or broken. Gnome (and i suppose KDE too) offers a volume indicator divided in four levels, namely muted, low, medium and high. Is there any way the volume-control applet could follow this pattern? It would then match the OS's. Of course other OS/Desktop environment should be considered too.

Cheers,
Benjamin

Yes it can be interesting to use all gauge themes!

Yes. In fact all gauges (battery, sound, network) should be standardised to fit OS requirements. This could allow the option to borrow the default OS gauge.

Talking about gauges: i believe it would similarly be interesting for the battery gauge to have its own icons for when the battery is on charge instead of overlapping some indicator to the current icon. The OS (at least Ubuntu) provides already with icons for this situation. In Cairo is now neither possible to remove the overlapping indicator nor to impose an indicator or alternate set of icon for this case.

you mean the small lightning emblem ?

four levels, namely muted, low, medium and high

I'm not sure to see the point, the volume can go from 0 to 100 %, and it can be mute or not mute (2 states).
broken is not really a state, it's a sign of a problem.

With regard to power-manager: yes the lightning symbol. I also addressed the issue in a thread where i am discussing the creation of a complete theme: http://www.glx-dock.org/bg_topic.php?t=5305&pos=0#mess_66427 Matttbe is looking into it i believe.

With regard to volume-control: i did not mean four muted states but rather four states among which muted is the lowest. If you use Ubuntu you can see the different volume states in the notification area a speaker symbol with three ")" following it.
