Hudlum 1.0
The volume indicator, on the other hand, is most important to me when there’s currently no sound playing, e.g., because I want to confirm my system is muted (or at least not in “yell loud enough to wake everyone in the house” mode) before I start playing a video. And I’d rather do that without having to squint at a tiny slider on a fuzzy-glassy background in an inconvenient spot way outside of my center of attention. A tiny slider on a fuzzy-glassy background in an inconvenient spot way outside of my center of attention, I might add, that doesn’t always update properly when I hit the mute/unmute key.

Enter Hudlum, the nostalgic retro HUD-style system volume indicator for dinosaurs[…] As silly as it may seem, this helped me make peace with macOS 26.

waitwhat, LiquidAssOS removes the volume HUD overlay when you tickle the volume up / down keys?
I can't even...
Anyway, this is definitely on my list of things to buy *if* I go to LiquidAssOS; I have Moom and Menuwhere, and use them all the time. Many Tricks are the gold standard for "fix the Mac's shortcomings" developers.

No, there is still a volume HUD but the design was changed and ir was moved to the top right of the screen
volumeHUD is pretty great as well and very faithful to the original one: https://github.com/dannystewart/volumeHUD
