Nevermind, I understood that this is how the extension is supposed to behave. I somehow figured out how to do it myself.
A label needs to be created and inserted in the appropriate position, something like this:
const Clutter = imports.gi.Clutter;
function enable() {
// ...
let panel_button_label = new St.Label({
y_expand: true,
y_align: Clutter.ActorAlign.CENTER
});
panel_button_label.text = microphone.level + '%';
Main.panel._rightBox.insert_child_at_index(panel_button_label, 0);
}
function disable() {
// ...
panel_button_label.destroy();
panel_button_label = null;
}
Maybe this can be added as an option in dconf, if it is not of any general interest. I have some global shortcuts to adjust the microphone volume to some particular percentages, therefore this feature particularly interests me.
However, I cannot figure out how to update this microphone.level
value each time the microphone level is updated by the global shortcut. Also, as of now, it displays 0%
always.
Do you know a fix for this, or how to do this? @wbolster Any link to understand this might be helpful. I guess I need to connect this to a signal, however, I don't know how to. I am new to gnome extensions. :)
Well, I somehow got it working locally by connecting to the notify
signal of Gvc.MixerControl
for the volume
property:
refresh: function() {
// ...
this.stream.connect('notify::volume', (stream) => {
this.notify_volume_change();
});
this.notify_volume_change();
// ...
}
notify_volume_change: function() {
this.emit('notify::volume_change');
},
// ...
def enable() {
// ...
microphone.connect(
'notify::volume_change',
function () {
if (microphone.muted) {
panel_button_label.text = '0%';
} else {
panel_button_label.text = microphone.level + '%';
}
});
// ...
}
Thank you for this extension! :smile:
Thank you for this great extension! @wbolster
I could not find the percentage level of the microphone in the top bar, beside the microphone icon. Only the microphone icon is visible in the top bar. I am experiencing this in
GNOME Shell 3.36.4
onUbuntu 20.04

NB: The 50% which you see on the right is the speaker's sound percentage, made available using the sound-percentage gnome-shell extension.
