Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I think the current Volume module is a bit ugly, the Output seems to be by default a vertical slider and all the Clients are horizontal sliders alongside it

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to see a variable added to the module that makes all the sliders use the same alignment of preference, in my case all Horizontal like I have at the moment on "sfwbar" (picture related)

Describe alternatives you've considered

I am not well versed into styling so I do not know if this is possible already with that, alternatively I have considered just making the module on_click event invoke pavucontrol to know my clients

Additional context

The volume widget on sfwbar (GTK3):

I think you can achieve this already:

popup_orientation = vertical
sink_slider_orientation = horizontal
source_slider_orientation = horizontal

@JakeStanger commented on GitHub (Mar 28, 2026): I think you can achieve this already: - `popup_orientation = vertical` - `sink_slider_orientation = horizontal` - `source_slider_orientation = horizontal`

Hello, thanks for the swift response

Ah, my apologies those options must have flown over my head as I looked for specific wording in the Wiki rather than reading everything there was available

However the functionality might be broken at this point since I tried to apply it and could not realize any changes, as pictured here;

Config

- type: "volume"
  popup_orientation: "horizontal"
  sink_slider_orientation: "horizontal"
  source_slider_orientation: "horizontal"

Running the appropriate .yaml configuration to make everything on the Volume Module horizontal, with 4 Audio streams open (2 on VLC, 2 on Firefox) made no difference than the Volume Defaults

Perhaps it's appropriate to turn this issue into a bug issue? Cheers for the work
