Description Paul Cooper 2006-04-21 10:45:16 UTC 
When you right click on the 'volume control' applet in the panel one of the
options is 'open volume control' - a better description is needed, something
like 'open mixer control', or 'open volume equalizer', or 'open volume mixer'

Other information:
I would argue that in the users mind the volume control applet is *the* volume
control - to then have a right click option open volume control will be
confusingly self referential. What you get when you click on open volume control
does more than the title 'volume control' would idicate.

Davyd, do we consider this a problem?
Comment 2 Danielle Madeley 2006-08-26 02:14:29 UTC 
The name of the full mixer on my desktop is "Volume Control", so "Open Volume Control" seems reasonable to me.

The applet is also called 'Volume Applet' in the about box. you can argue about this, but I don't think this would be a problem. The name 'mixer' should be avoided, since it's a technical term, implying mixing of two sounds. What the volume control/applet do is different, they control your volume/loudness.
