Why didn't MS do this (and that, hehe)?

[Caslon]

Have the white speaker icon in the System Tray change colors, turn red when you have the volume set at highest. It'd have been so very simple an option for MS to have included. Better than those faint ")" symbols in front of the speaker. Isn't this the kinda thing TweakUI used to specialize in?

I have it set to maximum always. I control the volume via external powered PC speaker system or my home mega-watt Hi-Fi system if I feel like some Hendrix.



(do people still use their teeny-weeny internal pc speaker?)
