How to use it:
|
|
|
|
.---------------------------.
|
|
| Message Area Message Area | <- (1)
|
|
| [ Rec ] [ ST ] [ Mute ] | <- (2) (3) (4)
|
|
| <- -> xxx | <- (5) (6) (7)
|
|
| L R ___ |
|
|
| | ||| | /the\ |
|
|
| |--|||---| |K NOB| | <- (8) (9)
|
|
| ||| <- slider \___/ |
|
|
`---------------------------'
|
|
|
|
1) Current channel name is displayed in this area. If scrolling messages are
|
|
enabled in config, the text will scroll every 30 seconds or so, using long
|
|
sound channel names. If scrolling is disabled, short 5-character channel
|
|
names are used instead, and the message constantly stays on the screen. In
|
|
scroll mode, clicking in this area will re-scroll current message.
|
|
|
|
2) Clicking REC will toggle record status for current channel, if the channel
|
|
is capable of recording. Some sound cards will allow you to set multiple
|
|
record sources. Some don't, so you can only have one selected at any time.
|
|
If you click here and nothing happens, the channel is not record-capable.
|
|
|
|
3) ST indicator is lit if the current channel is stereo.
|
|
|
|
4) Clicking MUTE will mute the current channel. Old volume settings are
|
|
remembered, so clicking it again will un-mute. Also see the knob section
|
|
because there is more than one way to do it :)
|
|
|
|
5) Clicking <- will switch to previous channel
|
|
|
|
6) Clicking -> will switch to next channel
|
|
|
|
7) Numeric indicator of current volume from 0 to 100 percent. Doesn't change
|
|
when the channel is muted, so you can still adjust the volume and then
|
|
unmute.
|
|
|
|
8) If ST light is on (Stereo channel), you can move this slider left and
|
|
right to set balance. Click on the slider, and drag the mouse left or
|
|
right to adjust. Double-clicking on the slider will center the balance.
|
|
If you are on a mono channel, the slider doesn't move or do anything.
|
|
|
|
9) Ah, yes, the knob. One of the biggest visual differences since version
|
|
2.x of WMix is that the knob now rendered in real-time opposed to switching
|
|
pixmaps with various knob angles. Bow down to Daniel Richard G. for coming
|
|
up with this awesome routine. Also utilizes new "cursor-hiding-and-moving"
|
|
code which first appeared in volume.app by the same guy. Now you don't
|
|
have to scroll the mouse off your desk to adjust the volume. Anyway, simply
|
|
click on the knob and drag the mouse up or down to adjust the volume.
|
|
After you release the button, your mouse cursor is right back where you
|
|
started. Very Nifty! You can also double-click on the knob to mute the
|
|
current channel. Red LED will turn off... Channel is muted!
|
|
|
|
Most people have mice with wheels these days, to this support is enabled by
|
|
default. Scrolling the mouse wheel up or down will adjust the volume by 3%
|
|
up or down. Buttons and step size are configurable from the config file -
|
|
see below.
|
|
|
|
You can also check out ~/.wmix.pid, and use SIGUSR1/2 to adjust the volume
|
|
up or down by the configured step size.
|
|
|
|
The config file:
|
|
|
|
1 = yes, 0 = no
|
|
|
|
mousewheel=1 # use mousewheel?
|
|
scrolltext=1 # scroll the system messages?
|
|
osd=1 # display OSD?
|
|
osdcolor=green # color of the OSD (from rgb.txt)
|
|
wheelbtn1=4 # which mousewheel button is "up"
|
|
wheelbtn2=5 # which mousewheel button is "down"
|
|
wheelstep=3 # the step for mousewheel adjustment
|
|
|
|
Most defaults are good for normal use, and if there is no config file,
|
|
the settings you see above are used. If you want to hack on a config file,
|
|
copy sample.wmixrc to ~/.wmixrc and change it around. Comments are ignored,
|
|
but don't put comments at the end of line like I did here.
