Why would you? The Win7Audio plugin can easily change the volume. It can be used to increase / decrease the volume with certain percent, to set it to a well specified level, to mute or unmute the system and so on. Why wouldn't you use this plugin, instead of a using some command / PowerShell?kyriakos876 wrote:So I suppose the skin I saw back then was just a good replica of wibdow's volume bar? Is it possible to control the volume with powershell or cmd commands?
I don't think that's needed. When you press those buttons (I usually also do so), that UI element is popping up, but if you have an appropriate Rainmeter skin, which uses the Win7AudioPlugin, this also will interact and show the changed volume, without having to create / use any weird command or PowerShell.kyriakos876 wrote:The idea is to use the already existing UI elements of windows 10. My keyboard has Up/Down volume buttons that will pop-up this bar I shared above in the screenshot, and increase/lower the volume. I'd like to send a command and simulate the behavior of my keyboard buttons. You might be wondering "why wouldn't you just press those buttons?" well, leave that to me. I'm just asking if there's a command will "call" this bar on the top left corner while changing the volume.
If I understand your reply, this is not a Rainmeter skin. If it were, then balala is correct that it will react to changes to the volume without needing to do anything; you could create a skin that only shows for a few seconds when the volume changes to mimic what you are describing.kyriakos876 wrote:The idea is to use the already existing UI elements of windows 10.

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!

The MediaKey measure can simulate key presses for a few media players, but I don't think that is what you are looking for.
I think you would need to ask the creator of that media interface. I am unaware of any Win10 UI media elements that Rainmeter can access.
