Hi,
I know that it's something which can't be done using standard windows API, but I found a repo which does that and only that, on github : https://github.com/markbrents/VolumeScroller
Would it be possible to include it into musibee ? I don't have the skills to judge the performance cost of the workaround that they implemented there though. There is a "How it works" section on github, so you'll be able to judge quickly I guess Steven

a) this can already be done by scrolling over the volume slider.
b) why add it to MB when you can just have it in your systray and scroll over it?
c) if added to MB then it is one more thing for Steven to support when there's already two ways to use the mouse to change volume

" it is one more thing for Steven" > true
Otherwise, this program control main volume. I'm talking about controling musicbee volume, I linked to this github repo because they explained how they managed to capture mouse wheel event over the systray icon. Using the mouse wheel over the systray allow to adjust musicbee volume without displaying the main window, so you can keep on doing what you are doing, without switching windows.

If the intent is to not have to go to MB to change the volume when something else is open, try the free Volume 2 application available at https://volume2.en.lo4d.com/windows
At its minimum it places an icon in the systray that you can mouse wheel up/down to change the volume.
Again, there's no need for Steven to implement your request when there are other tools available that do the same thing.

Well, I agree that it's just a fancy little feature not necessary, so no of course there is no need : ) But so is the ability to adjust volume by scrolling over the whole control bar, not necessary, but quite good in term of UX.
Just seems cool and convenient, is all. Of course, not necessary at all, don't worry I won't annoy anyone with that. It seems that this wishlist board is the place for asking this, I'm pretty sure Steven is totally able to ignore the suggestion ^^

I think it's not a silly wish, and I can see some use for it.
But, for me this works even better:
Assign global keyboard shortcuts for:
Player: Volume up
Player: Volume down
You won't even have to reach for your mouse moving it to some small icon to adjust the volume…

Good suggestion thanks!

I have used Volume2 and agree it is a very useful app. Newer versions (1.1.6 build 428-release and 1.1.7 build 429-beta) than the one at the lo4d site can be found at the author's site here:

I did a quick search and the lo4d.com came up first. I didn't take the time to look further. And yes, it's a very useful app.
