Support for Windows volume level bar

[GoogleCodeExporter]

A new feature request. That is, a volume level bar/% of some sort.

As an additional feature Triscopic mentioned a check box to make the bar 
visible only when a change is detected.

I have begun work on this, but will happily defer to SR if requested.

Meh, the windows APIs are not for me, and seeing that LCDSirReal already has 
the necessary code, I shall return it to SR's pile of things to do. No doubt 
it'll take him a tiny fraction of the time it would take me.

If you could add numerical percentage text to the volume display bar in the SPK 
module, it would be greatly appreciated.

Windows volume apis are frustrating at best.

I use Windows exclusively, but can you do the Mac users a favour and implement 
a volume bar for OS X? Retrieving system volume on OS X is trivial. The command:

osascript -e 'output volume of (get volume settings)'

returns a number from 0 to 100 representing current volume. If this was 
implemented, would it be possible to simply create an int get_volume(void) 
function that returns volume, platform independent, to then display as a bar or 
percentage? And put the OS X framework in place but the Windows API bollocks 
missing for now? Then, it'd be simple to add the proper Windows stuff to get 
the volume.

is there any progress for windows volume indicator lcdhost version?

I'd also like to if there's  been any progress. Got my G19 fairly recently and 
the fact that LCDHost doesn't support this feature is the only bad thing about 
it.

It does support volume level via 3rd party apps like AIDA64, take a look to the 
Aurora theme in the Forums. But the reaction is quite slow, so you have some 
delay as AIDA is only reporting the values after a few seconds (min 1s).
