Something like pressing F11 and getting up the volume text could maybe be nice. I've never used the volume. I have the same volume, no need to change it.
The Mixer has a volume popup feature, exactly what you are asking for.
I have configured my volume multimedia keys on the keyboard to send arexx commands to the Mixer, and configured the Mixer to open the volume window for a brief moment.
Use these settings in the Mixer icon: POPWINDOW (enabled the volume display)
POPWINDOWLEFTEDGE=1250 POPWINDOWTOPEDGE=640 (position. The default (not using these two) work fine also.)
POPWINDOWDELAY=65 (this means that the volume window will be displayed for 0.65 seconds.)

How cool is that?! ) I'm using the MM-keys too, but wasn't aware of the popwindow! Thanx for sharing!!
(sometimes it really helps reading the changelogs which come with the updates )
The solution I gave is not a solution around the problem. It is the proper and only solution.
What else would you have expected? I mean making the Mixer popup green and ugly and cover half the screen doesn't make it work better.
What you might possibly expect is to have the mixer read the MM-volume keys automatically by default, and of course to have the pop window showing by default, but still...

i was asking for a maybe new seperate tool, not mixer.
When you using your SAM in terms of a Media-Center it would be helpfull to have such "ugly green" good readable onscreen display instead of this small mixer window on high resolutions.
Send me the code for some osd(test,level,color) function which displays a transparent window with a string and some blocks like in your screenshot and I'll add it to mixer
I'm too labuzy right now to figure out how to do it

I´m just a graphic artist and webmaster. But i can code a little bit SDL-Basic
I ask "Whose", maybe he will code something native tool.

You won't get away from the Mixer whatever you do, but sure someone could make an alternative popwindow that is much larger for use in a media center environment, and add a suitable tooltype for it.
I made the popwindow as it is now and I simply copied the available graphics for one channel as it were. But nothing prevents anyone from adding an alternative large display too.
