You are welcome as always.

Also, I have finished fixing up the indicators and now they are bug free
(AFAIK).

when jwm restarts they remain in the dock and I have improved the
background by giving them an FL_NO_BOX for the box containing the icon,
so now the docked window background is colored accordingly and it is
working well.

I may add new features, but for now I am using them as my daily
indicators and really liking them, though I would like to add PulseAudio
support to the volume indicator at some point, and perhaps eventually
Jack as well.
