Yahoo Widget Version 1.0.4 Steampunk Volume Widget

This is the latest version of the Steampunk Volume Widget that you could certainly use on your desktop. It is a lovely piece of eye-candy as well as being useful on your desktop. This is one of a small set of icons/widgets for your desktop, the others are a typical set of Victorian desktop acoutrements. You can control the volume level of your PC/Mac desktop by moving the slider or clicking on the mute button. Double-clicking on the widget will cause a personalised Windows/Mac application to fire up. The first time you run it there will be no assigned function and so it will state as such - then it will pop up the preferences so that you can enter the command of your choice. The widget takes command line-style commands for windows or Mac OS/X.

This is the widget - click on the download button to get it.

The Steampunk Volume Widget is a moveable widget that you can move anywhere around the desktop as you require. The widget is usable on both Windows and Macs.

The widget is a Yahoo widget and it needs the yahoo widget engine. You can get that http://lightquick.co.uk/jdownloads/yahoo-widget-sdk-and-runtime-engine.html?Itemid=264

Here is just one more over 250 steampunk icons tha t I have created that will leave your Windows or Mac desktop looking absolutely spiffing. There is a whole set of the little thingies and I must say they do look very steampunk indeed! They really are a suitable replacement for the boring old default icons that come with Rocketdock/ObjectDock &c.

This widget and the others like it will spruce up your desktop and give it a bit of Victorian class. Full instructions can be found here:

You will, of course, need Yahoo widgets for this widget to run. Get Yahoo widgets here.

and the Mac version here:

The current version does NOT control the system volume for Vista & Win7/8 systems due to some changes in the way these systems allow apps to control the master volume. It works as intended on XP and Macs. I have to make some changes to the code to allow it to fully function as intended on NT6 systems. Changes have been made in a newer version (under test now) to handle NT6 systems (Vista, 7 and 8) but it is all a but clunky so I suggest you use the XWIDGET version.

NOTE: There is an identical widget that works beautifully on Vista/Win7 + 8, it is the Xwidget version here:

On Windows NT6 systems (Vista +) use the XWidget version.

Title: ...

Thank You Very Much for all of the steampunk widgets. Please keep up the good work. The volume control is awesome. I am having trouble with the mute button. I can mute sound ok but can't unmute it later. Am I doing something wrong ?
