I've wanted a desktop volume control for ages. Recently I found
https://sourceforge.net/projects/jkvolume/
Which is just the job and is written in Qt, which I know a little.
Its 'config.json' is easily editable and even allows adjusting
StyleSheets.
Thank you jkosa. And thank you Jeremy Jongepier for maintaining
the list. And Happy New Year to all.
