« on: June 10, 2008, 08:52 AM »

The problem is that the normal system icon has the "Mute All" functionality. The program icon opens the System Volume Window, which has Mute All and PC Speaker Mute. This gives the users another way to mute the sound. Just being able to remove the program icon would eliminate that ability!

The computers in question are actually television transmitter monitors. The software provides an aural alarm if certain conditions aren't met or readings fall outside a predetermined level. There are also situations where the conditions don't return to normal for hours at a time, which causes the alarm to continue. Often the alarm is muted, but not returned to normal when conditions return to normal. These are the situations I'm trying to prevent without permenantly disabling the ability to mute sound. Hope that makes sense

A tiny request: Could you please add a "Quit" item to the systray menu?

-TucknDar

The adjustments are GREAT!

I do have to disagree with the above. I don't want users to quit the program easily. I'm using it to prevent users from muting some important monitoring software. Obviously they were disabling the alarms by muting, now they can disable by killing this program.

There is another issue. Using the systray icon menu you can "Open Volume Control", which opens the system volume window. Selecting Mute All invokes the OSD, but selecting Mute PC Speakers does not.

I would like to see either total removal from the systray or removal of all options from the systray icon. Using the ini file to make all settings changes makes it a little more difficult to disable or change.

Maybe adding a setting in the ini to disable tray, disable settings, etc. Basically add the ability for the tray icon to be disabled and limit display of the tray commands per ini settings.

I've been using this for some time and really like it:

What would you say the differences between the two are? (I can't read German or whatever it is)

WOW Lanux!

I didn't expect a reply, much less an actual modification. I'm not complaining, just pleasantly surprised!

This is almost exactly what I was looking for!

The only things I would add are resizable text and text color choice.


Thx a million!

That might do it! The only thing I would like is re sizable text, which I'll add to that post.


Thx!

Anyone willing to tackle this? A program that displays a (sizable?) overlay anytime audio is muted. An example would be a user clicks the volume control in the taskbar and clicks the "Mute" check box. A large window appears stating "Audio Muted". It would be even better if the program window was on the top layer of the display (all other programs forced to stay under).
