Problem Description

Great app!

Would like the ability to quickly change volume on screen 2. No need for two actions here imo :

Proposed Solution

Have an option to always show the volume, and remove class="expand-button style-scope ytmusic-player-bar" entirely. Or make it stay toggeled when clicked.

Alternatives Considered

Not do anything, it is strictly not a problem.

Additional Information

No response

I would also like this feature. Would it make the most sense to put this under Options > Visual Tweaks?

@eivindholvik can I work on this, can you assign this issue to me

[ArjixWasTaken]

This can be achieved via a user theme

The css used is here

.volume-slider.ytmusic-player-bar {
    opacity: 1 !important;
}

@ArjixWasTaken when using your style, you are unable to click and change the volume slider until you manually mute and unmute as you demonstrated in the video, which kind of defeats the purpose.

I didn't demonstrate that, I didn't even try changing the value of the slider before muting/unmuting.

I just found it weird that the mouse cursor was not a "pointer" when hovering over the slider, that's why I muted/unmuted

[ryanbuening]

Ah, I see. Well that is what the end result is when using that style, which solves the "Always show volume slider", but IMO isn't ideal since it requires additional user interaction before being able to change the volume.

A bit more css should fix this issue.
