I thought I was so clever in thinking of this idea, then I researched and discovered that it's what iOS already does. <https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/MediaPlayer/Reference/MPVolumeView_Class/index.html>
> The sound indicator does suppress the notification when it is shown On the PC it does, but not on the phone. And if it's not obvious enough even for Canonical engineers to do it, that bodes ill for app developers. With this scheme, they get the notification-suppressing behavior for free whenever they choose the easy way of embedding a volume control. > what if a notification goes off while the app is open ? you will suddenly adjust the notification volume. Yes, that's a drawback. But then, a notification probably should temporarily quieten media playback, so changing the media volume wouldn't be that meaningful during those few seconds anyway. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1389761 Title: Don't show the volume overlay when changing the volume with the slider To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-sound/+bug/1389761/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
