Bug Description
Changed into separate bugs.
Binary package hint: gnome-applets
This applet now looks a lot worse than the Karmic one, in my opinion. Why?
The slider is too short and doesn't let you fine tune volume properly (bug 537768)
The two options, "mute all" and "sound preferences" are not grouped together (bug 537770)
There's a random 1px line that inexplicably runs underneath the slider box
The max volume icon doesn't have enough padding, compared to the no volume icon
Volume changes appear in the notification system - you would expect the volume controls to have the same style (bug 537773)
The size of the box is inconsistent with the wireless connection menu, the messaging menu, the MeMenu, the date/time/calender and the user session menu - all of these are longer than they are wide, but this one is wider than it is long
The background colour for the slider looks out of place, it isn't necessary. (bug 522471)
