Control Strip Volume is a Control Strip module that is designed as a direct replacement for Apple's Sound Volume module. While this module allows you to set the current volume level from a popup menu, it also shows the current volume level, something Apple's module lacks.
Installing Control Strip Volume
To install the Control Strip Volume module, it must be placed in the Control Strip folder inside your system folder. Unfortunately, the Apple system software (System 7.1) isn't smart enough to automatically realize that it should go there, so you must drag it to this folder manually.
1) Open your System folder.
2) Copy the Control Strip Volume file to the Control Strip Folder in your System folder.
3) Restart your computer.
Configuring Control Strip Volume
When the Control Strip first appears after restarting, the Volume module should be displayed. The number to the left of the speaker is the current sound level (0 to 7). The "sound waves" radiating from the speaker will also get bigger as the volume is set louder.
 
You can set the volume with the popup menu associated with the module. To make the menu appear, click down anywhere on the volume portion of the Control Strip, and it will pop up.
 
The volume can be set between 0 (off) and 7 (loudest). The current volume level will have the dot next to it. To change the volume, just choose another number.
