Simple_XOSD software provides a compact on-screen display that presents details of the currently playing song.
Simple_XOSD is a fantastic amaroK script that offers a convenient on-screen display (OSD) to showcase information about the currently played song. The OSD appears in the upper right-hand corner of your screen, leaving ample space for title bar buttons. It displays relevant information such as the artist, the song title, and the remaining time of the ongoing track.
Simple_XOSD is incredibly easy to customize, and users can configure the script to suit their preferences. The customization options include text settings like size, color, and font. Additionally, users can set the OSD's location and update interval, which is set to one second by default. Importantly, Simple_XOSD should work perfectly out of the box.
To use Simple_XOSD, your system needs to meet specific requirements. You must have amaroK version 1.2 or higher, Python, DCOP Bindings for Python, XOSD Bindings for Python, and XOSD installed. Gentoo users can easily install the necessary packages by running "emerge pyosd xosd dcoppython." However, if you use another distribution, you may need to ascertain how to install the packages independently.
The latest version of Simple_XOSD comes with an important fix for a bug that caused special characters like German umlauts to display incorrectly on the OSD. This update ensures all characters are displayed correctly on the OSD.
In summary, Simple_XOSD is an excellent amaroK script that provides a handy OSD to display essential information about the currently played song. The script is easy to customize, and it works seamlessly, given that your system meets the necessary requirements.
