Details

blaknite's volume_osd.sh reads the Master level with amixer and brightness_osd.sh reads brightnessctl, each calling dunstify to show the percentage; they hook into the existing key commands in ~/.config/wayfire.ini, and a later post ports the bindings to labwc's rc.xml using XF86AudioLowerVolume, XF86AudioRaiseVolume, XF86AudioMute and the brightness keysyms. The scripts are in the thread, not in a repository.
