Fixed the lack of glyphs in the system HUDs
1 project | /r/MacOS | 6 May 2023

This is awesome! I'm curious if this is inspired by SlimHUD at all? It's another project which I believe was shared here some time ago. Your tool has several of the same features, but I do appreciate the extra polish and integration with Music here.
Is there a way to change the volume icon size?

Disable Volume/Brightness Overlay - MacOS Big Sur
1 project | /r/MacOS | 25 Jan 2021

Right now, I'm using an app called SlimHUD to get a nicer, iOS-ish volume indicator. The only issue is that the dev hasn't found a way to get rid of the default overlay.

Check out DevUtils. it's in the App Store and is downloadable from their site. Has a ton of useful conversions, utilities, beautifiers/minifiers, etc. It's a paid app, and I find it useful for daily coding tasks
