Audio volume applet illustrating lack of desired style

I was advised by Nate to post this here:
https://pointieststick.com/2020/12/18/this-week-in-kde-all-the-things/#comment-18154

I have also attached the image I was referring to - the bars are the audio bars
and it would be nice to have them go grey when global mute is on in the audio
plasmoid.


I'll reproduce the comment here also for posterity:
"There is one concern I still have – to be clear this is going from your
screenshot only. The position of the Global Mute is the best now for sure. But
a concern remains about how it indicates its state. I understand from your
screenshot that those devices are at the levels shown, but global mute is
enabled. Can this be made a bit clearer so all the bars get greyed out when you
enable global mute?</q>

I think some redundancy would help there as it’s easy to look at the
enabled-looking devices and wonder why your audio isn’t working. Thanks!"


Nate's (cc'd) reply:

">     Can this be made a bit clearer so all the bars get greyed out when you
enable global mute?

They do, sort of. When global mute is activated, the sliders enter their
disabled state. The disabled state for Plasma Breeze Theme sliders makes the
handle partially transparent, but not the bar itself. So this would need to be
fixed by changing the appearance of the disabled state for the Plasma Breeze
theme styling for the Slider control itself. Can you submit a bug report to
Plasmashell | Theme – Breeze asking for that?"

As requested. 🙂
