OSD Monitors 0.1 (Default branch)
11-22-2008
OSD Monitors is a tool for those who prefer simple window managers and don't want precious screen space cluttered with panels, icons, etc. It uses the xosd library to display various textual monitors (clock, CPU usage, net, swap, disk, etc.) transparently at a fixed position on the screen. It has a very low memory and CPU footprint. |

xosd_create - Create a new XOSD object SYNOPSIS
#include <xosd.h> xosd *xosd_create (int number_lines); DESCRIPTION
xosd_init creates a new xosd window that can be used to display textual or numerical data on a X11 display in a unmanaged, shaped window that appears to be transparent. It provides a similar effect to the on-screen display of many televisions and video recorders. ARGUMENTS

On success a pointer to a new xosd object is returned, otherwise NULL is returned. ENVIRONMENT
DISPLAY The environment variable that determines which X11 display the XOSD window appears. char *xosd_error A string to a text string describing the error. HISTORY
The xosd_create function first appeared in version 2.0 of the XOSD library, replacing the now depricated xosd_init function. AUTHORS
The XOSD library was originally written by Andre Renaud, and is currenly maintained by Tim Wright. This document was written by Michael Ja- sonSmith. BUGS
