Alongside making your OSDs horizontal, there are lots of configuration options so you can customize OSDs as you want. Such as:

Position, size, border-radius and hide timeout of osd window
Size of icon, label and level bar
border-radius of level bar
Colors

Also you can write your custom CSS for all those elements.

The same here. This extension needs to be upgraded for LM 22.1. It does not work properly.

Confirming that this extension is no longer working after upgrade. • Linux Mint 22.1 • Desktop Environment: Cinnamon 6.4.6 • Theme: Mint-X-Teal [GTK2/3/4]

This extension must be rewritten for Cinnamon 6.4. In the meantime, we recommend not using it.

This OSD is currently broken under Manjaro Cinnamon 24.2.0. Instead of showing my the "Volume %" value, it just shows text as "Line Out %", and the OSD bar does not change, it just stays one solid color when I move volume up or down, even though I have two colors selected, giving no indication what level the volume is currently at.

Im more or less new to Linux, and I cant get this to work. The OSD isint there. I installed it through linux mint Exentions, enabled it, turned it off then on, reloaded it, rebooted, and i just cant get it to appear. There was no osd for the volume before i installed this exention, so maybe thats the issue. Thank you.

Try using the sound150 applet: https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/306 There are options concerning the OSD in the Sound tab of its settings.

This is one of the first things I install whenever I do a fresh install of my system. I had to make an account just so I could leave this comment. Thank You @berk-karaal !

Realmente lo amé, justo lo que había estado buscando, muy personalizable, sencillo y sin errores

This is perfect! It's way better than the default pop-up and should be the new default!

Excellent. Thank you!

Wow, this is great! Mega improvement. I set the X position % to 85 instead to help keep it even more low-profile. To have this extension makes me never want to go back to the old style. Thanks Berk!
