Anyone ever use a program called Volumouse?
It was possible to for example control volume when capturing mouse wheel, without any capture button, but only while over the taskbar as an example.
I'd like to mimic this sort of function but hoping someone might have done it already?

Hi, I actually needed the same functionality after working with Bettermousetools in MacOS. Here is a mousewheel script as, which uses scroll wheel on the top taskbar to switch desktops (workspaces)



Code:

if(parseInt(wheel.Y) <= (parseInt(wheel.Window.Screen.WorkingArea.Top))) { //is the mouse higher than work area, which is my top taskbar
// if you need bottom taskbar, just change WorkingArea.Top to WorkingArea.Bottom and <= to >=
        if(wheel.Delta > 0) {
            //mouse wheel scrolled up
            sp.SendModifiedVKeys([vk.LCONTROL,vk.LWIN], [vk.LEFT]); //send a shortcut Ctrl-Win-LeftArrow when scrolled up
        } else {
            //mouse wheel scrolled down
            sp.SendModifiedVKeys([vk.LCONTROL,vk.LWIN], [vk.RIGHT]); //send a shortcut Ctrl-Win-RightArrow when scrolled down
        }
    } else {
        //Default, pass mouse wheel message onto the original control
        wheel.Control.PostMessage(host.cast(uint, 0x020A), new IntPtr(wheel.WParam), new IntPtr(wheel.LParam));
    }
