XOSD displays text on your screen, sounds simple right? The difference is it is unmanaged and shaped,
so it appears transparent. This gives the effect of an On Screen Display, like your TV/VCR etc..
It currently supports 3 type of writes, string for simple text, slider and percentage display.
You need to have libxosd installed. You can get it from http://www.ignavus.net/software.html
None by default.
