WTaskbar 0.16

New: volume control in the notification area. A speaker icon next to the keyboard layout shows the current volume — more waves the louder it is, a cross when muted.

• Click opens the slider in the style of the theme: in Windows 10 a strip with the output device, a speaker button to mute and the volume in percent; in XP and Vista a small popup above the icon with a vertical slider and a Mute checkbox. Arrow keys, Page Up/Down and Space work while it is open.
• Scroll over the icon changes the volume by 2 %.
• Right-click lists the output devices to switch between, plus Mute and Sound settings.
• Changes made elsewhere — volume keys, the macOS menu bar, plugging in headphones — show up on the icon right away.
• It can be turned off in Taskbar settings.

Fixed: a click on an empty part of the taskbar now closes Start, the calendar and the volume popup.

Install: download wtaskbar-0.16.dmg, open it and drag WTaskbar to Applications. The app is not notarized, so on first launch go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway, or run:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/WTaskbar.app

Requires macOS 13 or later.
