You may manage a bar for audio volume, backlight intensity, or whatever, using a named pipe. Create a named pipe, e.g. /tmp/wobpipe, on your filesystem using.
mkfifo /tmp/wobpipe
Connect the named pipe to the standard input of a wob instance.
tail -f /tmp/wobpipe | wob
Set up your environment so that after updating audio volume, backlight intensity, or whatever, to a new value like 43, it writes that value into the pipe:
echo 43 > /tmp/wobpipe
Adapt this use-case to your workflow (scripts, callbacks, or keybindings handled by the window manager).
See wob.ini.5 for styling and positioning options.
