Great application. You can even control audio volume with your mouse!

I could not live without it. It is not self-explanatory, takes a bit of coding, and the coding can be a bit weird. But when you get the hang of it … indispensable … just sits there in the taskbar doing its stuff, from the simple to the very complex.
