NAME
    X::Osd - Perl extension to the X On Screen Display library (xosd)

SYNOPSIS
      use X::Osd;
      my $osd = X::Osd->new("-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-*-*-250-*-*-*-*-*-*","Green",3,XOSD_top,1,2);
      $osd->string(0,'Hello World!');
      $osd->percentage(0,56);
      $osd->slider(0,34);

DESCRIPTION
    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
