The KMix panel applet is an alternative interface to KMix. You can add it to the KDE panel by using the panel menu (Panel Menu -> Add -> Applet -> KMix Applet).
You can work with the KMix applet as described for the main window - including the context menu. Due to the limited space in the panel there are differences:
No main menu available. |
If you have multiple soundcards, you cannot change the selected mixer after the initial selection. |
No dock icon. If you want to use the dock item you must additionally start KMix from the K-Menu (usually installed under K-Menu -> Multimedia -> Sound Mixer). |
Icons only available when panel is big enough. |
No device name labels available. |
Configuration is done via panel menu - you can configure colors and slider direction there. |
No automatic volume saving. If you want your volumes saved when you logout for later restauration, you must also start KMix from the K-Menu. |
