Hi there! When the volume is muted, the plugin correctly shows a muted volume icon in the panel and the "Mute audio output" checkboxmenuitem is correctly checked. However, the volume slider and its associated volume icon look perfectly normal. I enjoy being able to adapt the volume prior to unmuting (so am not asking for any change there), but I would prefer for the slider to use the muted icon when the sound is muted. In summary, observed behaviour: the slider's appearance does not reflect the fact that the audio output is muted. The visual feedback of the "unmuted" slider icon is processed by the user's brain faster than the checkbox's text and state, hence creating unnecessary (albeit tiny :-) ) cognitive dissonance. Expected behaviour: the slider's icon looks muted. This icon is more visible than a checkbox, and images are processed faster by the brain than text, so it provides better and faster feedback. Cheers,
I agree and I'm wondering whether in extension the scale should be set to the insensitive state.
This was implemented with the 0.3.1 release. Volume icons maintain a consistent state between notifications, panel button, and slider indicator. There's a volume icon next to each slider that changes appearance at 0%, 0-30%, 30-70%, and 70-100% giving an additional visual indicator of the actual volume output. When mute is toggled, the icon displays the 0% image.
