Mac menu bar volume controller
Userlevel 2
The Mac version of the controller is great but doesn't really try to integrate with the Mac OS UI. If I have several windows open on my laptop screen, I find it very annoying that I cannot control something as basic as the volume of a Sonos zone from the Mac menu bar. There are several other ideas I could think of to make the Sonos controller more usable for Mac users (a dashboard widget, a quicksilver plugin etc, custom keyboard shortcuts), but just a simple volume control would be a major breakthrough and probably not very difficult to implement as most controller functionality is directly accessible from the dock's contextual menu.

If it's any consolation, the SDC for Windows won't be winning any UI awards either 🙂
(same thing for Mac)
Sonos: Please add volume to sonos menus. OSX users then could add a global keyboard command to directly control volume without bringing focus to the app.
Currently, the volume keyboard commands only work if you switch focus into the Sonos app, interrupting one's work. (If anyone knows a workaround, e.g. in applescript, please post.)

Hi
The is some code on Github that will give you a basic volume control. The developer has not quite finished it so you need to be able to understand a little bit of subjective c and compile in Xcode to get working.
Github.com and search for:
sonos-volume

Been looking for the same for years and just learned of this relatively new one! Working great over here. So happy :)
