This is the latest (1.0.2) version of the Steampunk Volume XWidget for the XWidget engine - that you could certainly use on your desktop. It is a lovely piece of eye-candy as well as being useful on your desktop.
This Windows ICO file, MAC, ICNS and finder, PNG icon file and .WIDGET file are all eminently usable on windows/ Mac OS/X / Linux &c.
This .PNG is larger and has more detail so that you can resize if you wish or use "as-is".
The .ICO file is delivered in 256, 128, 64, 48, 32 and 16 byte formats.
The .ICNS file is available for Mac OS/X
The .HQX file is available for Mac OS/X finder.
The .XUP file is for use with the XWidget engine.
This is one of a small set of icons/widgets for your desktop, the others are a typical set of Victorian desktop acoutrements. You can control the volume level of your PC/Mac desktop by moving the slider or clicking on the mute button. Double-clicking on the widget will cause a personalised Windows/Mac application to fire up. The first time you run it there will be no assigned function and so it will state as such - then it will pop up the preferences so that you can enter the command of your choice. The widget takes command line-style commands for windows or Mac OS/X.
The widget functionality is self-explanatory, tinker with it and you will soon get to grips with it, you can't do any harm. Think of it as a bit of steampunk eye-candy with a useful function.
Click on the slider and drag it to the left or right and the system volume will increase/decrease.
Click on the mute button and the system sound will mute.
If you change any of the system's sound settings using any other tools the widget will detect this and make changes to the slider accordingly.
It can be resized as you wish.
The Steampunk Volume Widget is a moveable widget that you can move anywhere around the desktop as you require. The widget is usable on all versions of Windows.
The widget is a XWIDGET widget and it needs the XWidget engine. You can get that here: http://xwidget.com/download.php
Here is just one more of over 250 steampunk icons and widgets that I have created that will leave your Windows or Mac desktop looking absolutely spiffing. There is a whole set of the little thingies and I must say they do look very steampunk indeed! They really are a suitable replacement for the boring old default icons that come with Rocketdock/ObjectDock &c.
This widget and the others like it will spruce up your desktop and give it a bit of Victorian class. Full instructions can be found here: http://lightquick.co.uk/instructions-for-the-steampunk-volume-xwidget.html?Itemid=264
