This sound150@claudiux applet is an improvement of the [email protected] applet.

An option allows you to control the volume up to 150% of its nominal value.

The icon and the slider are coloured according to the volume when it is greater than 100%.

A mark on sliders signals the '100%' position of volume.

From 0 to 100%: standard icons.

From 101 to 115%: yellow icon.

From 116 to 130%: orange icon.

From 131 to 150%: red icon.

Note that the icons are those of the system. (Their color is obtained via a css file.)

• In the settings (accessed by right-clicking on the icon), the Maximum volume control option sets the percentage of nominal volume you want to limit the maximum volume. Possible values are between 30% and 150%.

Use with caution. Above 120%, saturation can make the sound very unpleasant, even agressive.

In a meeting room or classroom, it is often useful to be able to increase the volume beyond 100%.

On the computer of a child, reduce the maximum volume possible to take care of his hearing... and yours!

• You can also choose the value of incrementation/decrementation of the volume (in % of nominal volume).
