gvosdik daemon is a central place for various applications to report relevant events for on-screen display.

The daemon listens to the d-bus desktop bus and exposes the interface to control on-screen display for applications. Applications may allocate an OSD instance and adjust the settings (font used, alignment, etc.) or use settings, predefined in the config file.

Here is a sample ~/.gvosdikrc configuration file:

< OSD "events" >
Lines 16
Position bottom
Align right
Shadow 1
Font "-*-times-*-r-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-*-*"
VOffset 120
HOffset 2
Timeout 6
< /OSD >

Requirements:
a c++ compiler
a make tool
pkg-config
dotconf
D-BUS 0.22
xosd
