[request] Volume Control 2600!

I was hoping for a cool volume control described below:

There should be an icon (as usual) in system trey. When the mouse is over that icon, it should fade a cool volume adjust box (some what like msn's instant message) and when mouse is off, it should disappear (fade). If you people remember Microsoft's first powerToyz, There was "Shell Audio Player" This had that cool fading effects. When the icon is clicked, it should show up all Volume controls!

I hate the traditional volume control idea. You have to click an item and then it takes its sweet time and then shows volume control box. The new idea is of just pointing a volume icon and it should show up! Who supports this one?

This is an idea, but ofcourse it can be made better...

Well, the systray does not handle mouse over (I think)

Very well, perhaps then the idea of "ToolBar" suits in here... (just like that Shell Audio Player). I'm sure this one is kinda equal! :boob shake:

When it comes to usual "ToolBars" its kinda best, not much of "Going around". To make default volume icon, its a long way, go to Control Panel, click on Sound and xxx devices and then check things on and off... :baby:

I see lot many people have already done Volume related coding in here... DockLets are my first preferences since there are no good ToolBars existing... (yet atleast)
