Mixxc

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.

Usage

```sh Usage: mixxc [-w ] [-h ] [-s ] [-a ] [-v]

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 -u, --userstyle path to the userstyle -v, --version print version --help display usage information ```

Anchoring

It is often desirable to be able to position widgets relatively to a screen side.
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

Customization

Mixxc is built with GTK4 and uses CSS to define its appearance.
You will find the style sheet in your config directory after the first launch. sh ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/mixxc/mixxc.css

Environment

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.
