When designing Notify OSD, we decided that mutedness should be orthogonal to volume -- that is, muted loudness should look different from muted quietness. This was so that you can get advance warning of how loud things are likely to be the moment you unmute.
In the volume applet we don't really have room to distinguish muted loudness from muted quietness, but we can still distinguish muted sound vs. zero volume. So, what Ara said. :-) -- Not having a muted icon for the volume applet causes confusion https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444548 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
