Volume Scroller for GNOME Shell

Use the mouse wheel on the GNOME Top Bar to increase or decrease volume.

Available for download on GNOME Shell Extensions.

This was forked from https://github.com/trflynn89/gnome-shell-volume-scroller which is unfortunately now archived.

Manual Installation

To install from a release package, download the latest release and extract the downloaded archive to the GNOME Shell Extensions path:

unzip volume_scroller@francislavoie.github.io.*.shell-extension.zip -d volume_scroller@francislavoie.github.io
mv volume_scroller@francislavoie.github.io ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions

Then restart GNOME Shell. You may either log out and log back in, or enter Alt+F2 to open the run dialog, then type r to restart the GNOME Shell.

For testing on Wayland, see https://gjs.guide/extensions/development/creating.html#testing-the-extension for tips on running a nested GNOME session, which is necessary to run the extension without restarting your main GNOME session (logout/login).
