Well, I actually don't have a solution but you can use vicious to create a widget like this.

-- {{{ Volume level
volicon = widget({ type = "imagebox" })
volicon.image = image(awful.util.getdir("config") .. "/icons/vol.png")

volwidget = widget({ type = "textbox" })
vicious.cache(vicious.widgets.volume)
-- Register widgets
vicious.register(volwidget, vicious.widgets.volume, " $1%", 2, "Master")
-- Register buttons
volwidget:buttons(awful.util.table.join(
  awful.button({ }, 1, function () exec("gnome-alsamixer") end),
awful.button({ }, 4, function () exec("amixer -q set Master 2dB+", false) vicious.force({volwidget}) end), awful.button({ }, 5, function () exec("amixer -q set Master 2dB-", false) vicious.force({volwidget}) end)
))

In the above configuration, scrolling on the textwidget changes the sound too. Also, clicking on it opens gnome-alsamixer.

I couldn't really get an answer, not sure if it's possible. I just
ended up using a textbox to display my sound, but I'd love to find a
way around this too.

    hi:

    I use the gnome-sound-applet to control sound in my awesome
    settings, and it has a full black icon. However, my top panel is
    also black, so I can't see the icon.

    Is it possible to change the icon? Thanks!


    best regards,
    pylemon
