Default skin - display no bars for mute
Last modified: 2009-01-23 20:39:07 UTC
In any interface where there's a volume bar, you'd expect there to be no part of the bar displayed at the 0 or mute level.
Mute != (volume=0) We do have a mute function, but it's not exposed to the web UI. Thus I assume you mean volume=0? Not sure about that. It's probably a limitation of using a scale in a web UI. WMP or iTunes use a slider. That slider is always visible. If you consider the last displayed element our slider handle, then we behave the same as as these other interfaces. How would you expect this to work? Where do you click to get the volume down to zero? Outside the scale?
> Where do you click to get the volume down to zero? Outside the scale? Yes.
Please forgive me citing you, but "In any interface where there's a volume bar" clicking outside this bar won't change the volume, would it? This sound like very un-intuitive to me.

Perhaps Brian can add this to his queue of design issues to consider.
kind of dupe of bug 8763 or covered by it
(In reply to comment #6) > kind of dupe of bug 8763 or covered by it Yep. If a slider is implemented it makes this a moot point. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 8763 ***
