Could anyone help me out and make a Hotkey to do this?

Windows 10, when you click the sound icon it brings up that useless sound volume slider, I'd much rather have quick access to the Volume Mixer, and this be done with DisplayFusion?

Like Ctrl+Alt+M opens the Volume Mixer panel?

You can certainly make a script, something like that.

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;

public static class DisplayFusionFunction
{
    public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
    {
        var sndVolID = BFS.Application.Start(@"C:\Windows\SysWOW64\SndVol.exe", "");
        
        // The following code is required only to move the window.
        // You can delete it if not required.
        var wHnd = BFS.Application.GetMainWindowByAppID(sndVolID);
        var windRect = BFS.Window.GetClientRect(wHnd);
        var workArea = BFS.Monitor.GetMonitorWorkAreaByWindow(wHnd);
        // Move the window to the upper right corner
        BFS.Window.SetLocation(wHnd, workArea.Right - windRect.Width, workArea.Top);
    }
}

But the easier it seems to me to make a shortcut app and hang the hotkey on it.

Awesome dude, that totally works!

Is there a way to have it open bottom right, instead of top, with maybe a 1 pixel spacing around the edges?

I tried changing the "Top" part you had to "Bottom" but it opens off-screen, only the titlebar is shown and it's 99% hidden by my taskbar.

Also about shortcuts, I don't like them, I try to keep things clean, and with this hotkey, it works great for fullscreen games where I can't use my mouse exactly well.

So I kinda just played around with it and got it opening where I want it with this.

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;

public static class DisplayFusionFunction
{
    public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
    {
        var sndVolID = BFS.Application.Start(@"C:\Windows\System32\SndVol.exe", "");
        
        // The following code is required only to move the window.
        // You can delete it if not required.
        var wHnd = BFS.Application.GetMainWindowByAppID(sndVolID);
        // Move the window to the upper right corner
        BFS.Window.SetLocation(wHnd, 1370, 700);
    }
}

So unless you see anything wrong with that, I'd consider this case closed and I'm very happy.

You can try so

Code
Copy
Select All

BFS.Window.SetLocation(wHnd, workArea.Width - (windRect.Width + 5), workArea.Height - (windRect.Height + 35));

or leave your option.
