Mixxc is a minimalistic and customizable volume mixer, created to seamlessly complement desktop widgets.
Currently, it supports only pulseaudio and pipewire (through the pulseaudio interface) by utilizing libpulseaudio to receive audio events.
```sh
Usage: mixxc [-w Minimalistic volume mixer. Options:
-w, --width window height
-h, --height window width
-s, --spacing spacing between clients
-a, --anchor screen anchor point: (t)op, (b)ottom, (l)eft, (r)ight
-m, --margin margin distance for each anchor point
-v, --version print version
--help display usage information
``` It is often desirable to be able to position widgets relatively to a screen side. Mixxc is built with GTK4 and uses CSS to define its appearance. Mixxc is developed and tested with:
* Wayland
* Hyprland
* PipeWire If your setup is different and you experience issues, feel free to file a bug report. If startup seems a bit slow, try this:
Some features can be enabled at compile time.
* Sass - Allows you to use SCSS instead of CSS.
* Wayland - Uses wlr-layer-shell to imitate window positioning. Can be installed from crates.io with To build this little thing, you'll need some Rust.Anchoring
Two flags will help with this: -a --anchor and -m --margin.
Each margin value provided will match every anchor point respectively.
sh
mixxc --anchor left --anchor bottom --margin 20 --margin 30
