Ubuntu 10.10 Sound applet buttons now respect your theme
If you were irked by previous iterations of the Ubuntu 10.10 sound menu having self-consistent buttons then prick your ears up and prepare to breath a sight of relief: the buttons within the menu now adhere to your chosen theme – sort of. Take a gander. Short of requiring every GTK theme to add custom [...]
Rhythmbox finally gets the update Maverick testers have longed for…
Rhythmbox no-longer exits when you press the ‘close’ button.
In Lucid pressing the ‘close’ window button minimized the main window to the Rhythmbox indicator. With the introduction of the new Sound Menu in Ubuntu 10.10 the last few months have required Maverick users to have Rhythmbox fully open on the desktop (or sat in the panel/dock) all the time.
This Sound Menu idea is way too cute not to want
I don’t know what is left to say about the Ubuntu 10.10 Sound Menu that hasn’t already been said so far – it’s a menu, it’s new, most of you love it! This mockup by queckjap is both cute and fantastically representative for what the sound menu does with Rhythmbox. Of course there are issues [...]

They look sumptuous! These buttons are undeniably in keeping [...]

For those new to the whole ‘Sound Menu Saga’ I’ll be brief: Ubuntu 10.10 has a new sound menu which controls things like thythmbox and system volume. Some [...]
Banshee adds initial Meerkat Sound Menu support
Whilst much ado about nothing has been made concerning Ubuntu 10.10′s shiny new Sound Menu one question has been asked time and time again – will Banshee support it? The answer is yes.

Meerkat’s new sound Indicator: Changes on the way?
Mark Shuttleworth has just posted some focused discussion and mock-ups over on his blog, highlighting the artists name in the new Maverick Sound Menu – like so: I for one think that the sound menu is looking pretty fantastic, and the embedded apps are really coming along (although something about those buttons I find to be distasteful.

Worried about the meerkat Sound Menu? todays update screams ‘don’t be!’
