Volume control

[JohnCoool]

I took a look at some threads but it was not clear enough to get what I need.

I installed a volume skin.

Can someone paste a link that explains how to edit control.

I want to create a key combination to increase or decrease volume without using the mouse.

I need one for Rainmeter. I have software that can do that for windows. But it does not cover my exact requirement.

Please assist me.

Start here, then try this for the hot keys.

In addition to SilverAzide's jsmorley's reply, let's advice a little bit deeper the OP.
First thing which has to be done, is to install the HotKey plugin. To do this, you have to follow the link posted by SilverAzide and download the HotKey_1.0.0.12.rmskin skin installer, uploaded by Brian at the end of his post. Install the downloaded package and this way you get installed the appropriate version of of the plugin, into the proper place. Now you can try the posted code and it's gonna work.

All worked well!

One command is not working for mute. Please review my changes and edit it.

[MeasureVolumeDown]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=HotKey
HotKey=CTRL F1
KeyDownAction=[!CommandMeasure "MeasureWin7Audio" "ToggleMute"][!Update]

You can't have two [Sections] with the same name...

[MeasureVolumeToggleMute]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=HotKey
HotKey=CTRL F1
KeyDownAction=[!CommandMeasure "MeasureWin7Audio" "ToggleMute"][!Update]
