Taskbar Scroll 

Want another way to tweak your volume? JustScroll lets you adjust the volume by scrolling while your cursor is on the taskbar. It’s quick, easy, and doesn’t require opening any additional menus or apps.

For those who prefer finer control, Precision Scroll has you covered. Hold down the left mouse button and scroll to adjust the volume with precision. Whether you need a slight increase or decrease, this feature lets you get it just right. 

Background Running 

One of the best things about JustScroll is that it runs in the background, independent of other applications like Steam. It’s there when you need it and unobtrusive when you don’t, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience.
