Overview

Mixxc

Mixxc is a minimalistic and customizable volume mixer, created to seamlessly complement desktop widgets. Currently, it supports only pulseaudio and pipewire (through the pulseaudio interface) by utilizing libpulseaudio to receive audio events.

Usage

Usage: mixxc [-w <width>] [-h <height>] [-s <spacing>] [-a <anchor...>] [-m <margin...>] [-u <userstyle>] [-v]

Minimalistic volume mixer.

Options:
  -w, --width       window height
  -h, --height      window width
  -s, --spacing     spacing between clients
  -a, --anchor      screen anchor point: (t)op, (b)ottom, (l)eft, (r)ight
  -m, --margin      margin distance for each anchor point
  -u, --userstyle   path to the userstyle
  -v, --version     print version
  --help            display usage information

Anchoring

It is often desirable to be able to position widgets relatively to a screen side.
Two flags will help with this: -a --anchor and -m --margin.
Each margin value provided will match every anchor point respectively.

mixxc --anchor left --anchor bottom --margin 20 --margin 30

Customization

Mixxc is built with GTK4 and uses CSS to define its appearance.
You will find the style sheet in your config directory after the first launch.

${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/mixxc/style.css

If you have enabled the Sass feature, it will also look for *.scss and *.sass files.

${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/mixxc/style.sass
${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/mixxc/style.scss

Environment

Mixxc is developed and tested with:

Wayland
Hyprland
PipeWire

If your setup is different and you experience issues, feel free to file a bug report.

Startup Time

If startup seems a bit slow, try this:

GSK_RENDERER=cairo GTK_USE_PORTAL=0 mixxc

Dependencies

GTK4
gtk4-layer-shell (Feature: Wayland)
libpulseaudio (Feature: PulseAudio)
libxcb (Feature: X11)

Features

Some features can be enabled at compile time.

Sass - Allows you to use SCSS instead of CSS.
Wayland - Uses wlr-layer-shell to imitate window positioning.
X11 - Sets WM hints and properties, and repositions the window.

Installation

Can be installed from crates.io with cargo:

cargo install mixxc --locked --features Sass,Wayland...

Building

To build this little thing, you'll need some Rust.

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Elvyria/mixxc
cd mixxc
cargo build --locked --release --features Sass,Wayland...

How to build it with gtk4-layer-shell feature?

Hi, thanks for the interesting project!

I have issue building it on my Arch, here is what I tried:

git clone --depth 1 <repo>
