This looks really nice. I would like to try this out when i get home, wich is in a few hours. But again, looks like something i would like to use. Great work!

Geat!!!

I'm searching some program for this but old xosd don't work with Fluxbox.

Can someone post the script here?  The link to the script is "under construction", and I was thinking of doing something similar, which (since it has already been done) saves me some work!

I've emailed the OP, and I will (if he doesn't mind), post the script here if I get it from him.

I have tested the script out, but yet I seem to be having issues with notify-osd displaying the stuff.

What I get is this:


It seems as if notify-osd isn't drawing anything but the bubble.  Has anyone had this issue with the script?  (Notify-osd works fine for all the other things I use it for, save for the fact that it doesn't seem to show icons for anything but Dropbox...maybe I'm missing the icon package for it?)

Below are the notify-osd related packages I have installed:

┌─[lswest@Monster:~]-[16:57:11 on 09-07-13]
└─> yaourt -Ss notify-osd|grep installed
aur/gnome-mount-notify-osd 0.8-2 [installed] (31)

aur/notify-osd-bzr 311-1 [342-1 installed] (73)
aur/pidgin-libnotify-notify-osd 0.14-3 [installed] (60)

Thanks in advance for any ideas,
Lswest

Also, below is the original vol.sh script from Abarilla:

#!/bin/sh

usage="usage: $0 -c {up|down|mute} [-i increment] [-m mixer]"
command=
increment=5%
mixer=Master

while getopts i:m:h o
do case "$o" in
    i) increment=$OPTARG;;
    m) mixer=$OPTARG;;
    h) echo "$usage"; exit 0;;
    ?) echo "$usage"; exit 0;;
esac
done

shift $(($OPTIND - 1))
command=$1

if [ "$command" = "" ]; then
    echo "usage: $0 {up|down|mute} [increment]"
    exit 0;
fi

display_volume=0

if [ "$command" = "up" ]; then
    display_volume=$(amixer set $mixer $increment+ unmute | grep -m 1 "%]" | cut -d "[" -f2|cut -d "%" -f1)
fi

if [ "$command" = "down" ]; then
    display_volume=$(amixer set $mixer $increment- unmute | grep -m 1 "%]" | cut -d "[" -f2|cut -d "%" -f1)
fi

icon_name=""

if [ "$command" = "mute" ]; then
    if amixer get Master | grep "\[on\]"; then
        display_volume=0
        icon_name="notification-audio-volume-muted"
        amixer set $mixer mute
    else
        display_volume=$(amixer set $mixer unmute | grep -m 1 "%]" | cut -d "[" -f2|cut -d "%" -f1)
    fi
fi

if [ "$icon_name" = "" ]; then
    if [ "$display_volume" = "0" ]; then
        icon_name="notification-audio-volume-off"
    else
        if [ "$display_volume" -lt "33" ]; then
            icon_name="notification-audio-volume-low"
        else
            if [ "$display_volume" -lt "67" ]; then
                icon_name="notification-audio-volume-medium"
            else
                icon_name="notification-audio-volume-high"
            fi
        fi

Im using wicd and batterymon which both use libnotify and notification-daemon. I have removed libnotify and notification-daemon and used notify-osd and the volume works, but wicd and batterymon don't. Using libnotify i can get the other 2 to work but not this script, i get the popup but then no text just the volume icon. Thanks

FYI, I updated the urls in the first post so they are working again.

Thanks,
Andy

This is going to be a pretty silly question, but how exactly do I use it? How do I identify the keystoke from the keyboard?

great job mate. I'm using it right now with xbindkeys in place of setting directly the volume scrollwheel of my laptop to change the volume of alsamixer. Thanks

very awesome script... thank you for sharing!

It won't work with xfce4-notifyd, because xfce4-notifyd doesn't support the "synchronous" hint. You shouldn't get a blank notification though, what you should get is a new bubble with each volume change. Oh, I just remembered - even this only works with the git version of xfce4-notifyd. But basically, you're out of luck; this script only works correctly with notify-osd.

I'm using the original script. Works great! rent0n, can you explain how xfce4-notifyd is more customizable?
