Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
If there's a valid use for it, it might deserve a real tag, but nobody's really provided one yet. You said it's more useful for you. Do you just mean "more aesthetic to me" or do you find an actual use for it?
He doesn't want to use a numeric scale, he wants to use an arbitrary graphical representation of whatever kind, scaled from 0 - 100% over the maximum volume range of the player, but not limited to the current 10+ step resolution.
For the majority of users in the majority of cases (speculation) the perceived volume is a function of your player, your headphones, your source material and your ears. It's no use pretending that rendering the figure as db is anything other than a way to make a subjective decision about the volume setting for a particular occasion.
For the record, yes I did find the volume display using Cabbie on my F40 counter-intuitive when I tried it. It takes 9 or 10 presses in the volume control before I see any feedback on the screen (or less if midway between two graphics). There's plenty of resolution for it to be smoother.
The range above 0db is also available as actual numbers. It just can't be split into multiple images and you can't replace the numbers with imaginary numbers of your own choosing.
