(Solved) Tint2 Volume Mixer

I've now install and use Openbox with tint2 panel. Everything is running good except I can't figure out how to get the Volume Mixer to appear in tint2 panel.

How can I get Xfce mixer to show up or do I need to install a different one?

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thnx.

I use tint2 for my desktop. I use Volti instead of xfce mixer.

Thanks. That will do it. I wonder if it's complicated to have the mixer that comes with Xfce or whatever default environment one is using? Just curious.

Thnx.

The Xfce mixer is not a systray applications but a plugins for the Xfce panel that won't work with others. There are some alternatives for Volti, e.g. you AFAIK can use kmix.

Or something more openbox like: Use gmrun to run apps by pressing [alt+f2] and add

Code: Select all

# Set terminal
Terminal = sakura
TermExec = ${Terminal} -e
AlwaysInTerm = ssh telnet ftp lynx mc vi vim nano alsamixer
to the gmrun config. So running alsamixer automatically opens a terminal window ;)
