Simple_XOSD is an amaroK script that displays a small OSD on your screen that shows you information about the song that is played currently.

By default, it is located in the upper right corner of the screen (leaving enough room for title bar buttons, of course). It shows the artist, the name and the remaining time of the current song.

Customization:

Simple_XOSD is easy to customize. You can set the location, the text (size, color, the font itself) and the update interval (One second by default).

But you don't have to - Simple_XOSD *should* work out of the "box".

Requirements:
amaroK 1.2 or newer
Python
DCOP Bindings for Python
XOSD Bindings for Python
XOSD

Gentoo users:

Just run "emerge pyosd xosd dcoppython". (Maybe you need the masked xosd package)

I don't know howto install the packages on other distributions, sorry.

What's New in This Release:
Fixed a bug with special characters like german umlauts. Such characters are now displayed correctly in the OSD.
