My keyboard has media control buttons on it, and when the volume buttons on that are pressed, there is a small UI element that pops up and displays the change. This is driven by the keyboard however, and does not respond to changes made through the volume control on the taskbar in Windows, nor any Rainmeter skin. It is presumably part of the Logitech software for my keyboard.
Having said that, there is no possible way I know of to cause that to happen other than by pressing the keyboard buttons.

Re: Volume control.
That Win10 UI which appears in the upper left corner of the screen every time the volume is changed, appears no matter how do you change the volume. That's not something related to Rainmeter.kyriakos876 wrote:Actually, MediaKey is exactly what I was looking for... when this action LeftMouseUpAction=!CommandMeasure "MeasureMediaKey" "VolumeMute" is commanded, it will actually pop-up the little bar on the left corner. Thanks, I was unaware of this Measure! (I thought I read all the measures back in the day, but apparently I missed something)

Re: Volume control.
Ah yeah, MediaKey might actually simulate the key-press...

Re: Volume control.
I would caution that this is not certain to work on all keyboards, and that the appearance of the UI element is not certain to be the same.

Re: Volume control.
I'm wrong. This is a part of Windows 10

Re: Volume control.
This is implemented into windows, so even without a keyboard, if you click on those meters, the volume will change respectively, showing the top-left volume bar.jsmorley wrote:I would caution that this is not certain to work on all keyboards, and that the appearance of the UI element is not certain to be the same.

Re: Volume control.
I'm glad that MediaKey Measure solved your query.
According to the docs, it does not work with all media players, so I was a bit hesitant to suggest it... but good to know it works with Win10 UI.
