Please send any commentry to: xosd@ignavus.net There are several modules here. xosd.c & xosd.h combine to form (VOLTRON!) libxosd.so, which is the main unit xmms_osd.c becomes libxmms_osd.so which is an xmms plugin to display various things whenever they change (volume, track, paused/shuffle/repeat etc...) testprog.c is a simple test program, not supposed to do anything useful, but handy if you're having problems getting it going. osd_cat.c is another simple program, it simply reads from stdin and displays it using osd. All its options are hardcoded, its not supposed to be used for anything too smart, I am hoping someone will code a replacement for me :) NB: The first thing to check is that you have a proper font #define'd, use xfontsel to find a suitable one
