OSD for the hardware controls

[rp1231]

Would it be possible to have a volume mixer OSD popup every time you change volume?
I struggle to know the volume changes when I use hardware controls and an OSD would be perfect!

Thanks

Any interest for this?
This would go well with the hardware support addon being developed.

Maybe it can be as simple as having the eartrumpet app popping up every time an app volume is changed via hardware controls.

Or just the individual app showing up.

I could help with the design assets if needed.
Thanks

In my opinion, this would be a great addition, e.g. when using the hardware support addon with rotary encoders which do not allow to tell the absolute position. But I think this would have to be part of the main application with a setting to enable / disable it.

Ahh ok, makes sense!
I hope one of the devs working on the main application picks this up.

@svenwml I gave you access to the addons repo that will be public soon.

I've added a sample for adding an OSD: https://github.com/File-New-Project/EarTrumpet.Addons/commit/e2095ba64cdf9274531ecf6717a0ee4dfb1c0877

You'll also need the current dev branch so you have DeviceView!IsAppListVisible. Otherwise, there aren't any changes needed to have an OSD that displays whatever you like and doesn't conflict with the EarTrumpet flyout.

It'd probably be easier to show something totally custom, this is DeviceView and AppItemView, it's set to show on top but IsHitTest=false so you cannot interact with it. Ideally I think not showing the slider would be much better, but exactly what to show would be up to you...

@davuxcom This looks great, thanks! We will definitely have a look at this and plan to implement the option to show an OSD on hardware control change in the hardware controls addon.

Any progress on this? If this is not planned, I will consider make a browser extension instead.
