Windhawk Mod Adds Per-App Volume Control to Windows 11
A new mod for windhawk brings convenient per-app volume controls to Windows 11, allowing users to adjust audio levels directly from the taskbar. Developed by m417z of Ramen Software, the “Taskbar Volume Control Per-App” mod streamlines the process of managing application audio.
Traditionally, adjusting app volume in Windows 11 requires navigating to the system volume controls and individually adjusting each application’s slider. This mod simplifies the process: hovering over a taskbar button for a running application allows users to scroll the mouse wheel to adjust its volume. Holding Ctrl and clicking a taskbar button toggles mute for that application. A tooltip displays the current volume percentage or indicates if the app has no active audio session.
This functionality is built as a mod for Windhawk, a customization platform for Windows 11. Users interested in utilizing this feature must frist download and install the main Windhawk application from https://windhawk.net/.after installing Windhawk, the “Taskbar Volume Control Per-App” mod can be downloaded and installed directly from its page: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows11/comments/1qc3f2b/new_in_windhawk_perapp_volume_control_on_the/.
