Full window - opens all the volume and audio settings
Config window - configure app and select soundcard, it has three tabs
Main - graphic and volume control settings
Tray - setting for panel icon and slider

Retrovol not showing
Sometimes when Retrovol won't start (and therefore doesn't show) is because it is not configured correctly.

The configuration file is located at ~/.retrovolrc, can be edited as text. (.<name> files are 'hidden', left-clicking on the eye in the ROXfiler ROX filer window will show these files.)

Commands
retrovol -v - returns version
retrovol -h - returns help
