I have an older OSD volume script that works wonderfully and is very customizable. Original found here... SOURCE: https://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/94813-just-another-volume-osd/
My only issue is when the volume gets muted, the ODS should turn red but doesn't and I can't figure out why. I also would like to be able to mute with the mousewheel, the same way the volume gets adjusted up and down. Can someone with more experienced eyes take a look and tell me if I can even get that with this script as doing so with the inbuilt volume control also doesn't go into mute when scrolled all the way down? Thank you for reading about my dilemma.
the script...

@scso ...I had that initial thought momentarily too, but then brushed it off as feeling it's no different than something like...
Gui, +AlwaysOnTop vs Gui +AlwaysOnTop
Both do the same thing and the comma in this scenario is a personal preference.
@user3419297 ...thank you as always. Sadly this induced a significant amount of flicker, regardless of how I altered it, but it did indeed give an actual muting and turned red. I gave up and started over going with a simpler approach. I don't get the red when it goes mute, but at least it does mute without all the flickering. The below is what I ended up going with. Thank you again!!
(And considering I was docked a couple points for posting a question using polite manners such as "Hello and good day" and they referenced it as "fluff", not sure thanking is actually allowed on here. Oh well, guess that individual just needs a hug so they can get on with life. Long story short... THANK YOU!!)
