# XOSD-XFT - OSD for X11
|
|
|
|
Inspired by [libxosd](https://sourceforge.net/projects/libxosd/).
|
|
|
|
`xosd-xft` supports:
|
|
|
|
* Use Xft/TTF fonts
|
|
* Xrandr and Xinerama extensions
|
|
* Allows you to choose a monitor in multihead setups - including active monitor
|
|
* Use `osd-show-key` to display a [Nerd Font](https://nerdfonts.com) glyph
|
|
* Use `osd-show-file` to display a file
|
|
|
|
# Installation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Quick Look
|
|
|
|
## Using osd-show-key
|
|
|
|
To display volume off glyph and execute `amixer` command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
osd-show-key -e 'amixer set Master off' :fa-volume_off:")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To list available glyph names that contain `volume` in them:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
osd-show-key -lvolume
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Using osd-showfile
|
|
|
|
To override the font used to display a file:
|
|
```bash
|
|
osd-show-file -f "SourceCodePro:size=14" /etc/passwd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The following command shows the output of uptime on the screen and updates every 5 seconds:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
while true; do uptime; sleep 5; done | osd-show-file --number-of-lines 1 -g 0x1l+0-0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Using the library
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|
|
#include <stdlib.h>
|
|
#include <string.h>
|
|
#include <unistd.h>
|
|
|
|
#include <xosd-xft.h>
|
|
|
|
xosd_xft *osd;
|
|
|
|
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
|
|
{
|
|
osd_geometry g;
|
|
|
|
xosd_xft *osd = osd_create();
|
|
if(osd_parse_geometry("300x300+0+0*middle/center", "center/middle", &g) == NULL) {
|
|
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", osd_error);
|
|
return EXIT_FAILURE;
|
|
}
|
|
osd_set_geometry(osd, &g);
|
|
osd_set_font(osd, "mono:size=16");
|
|
osd_set_color(osd, "lightblue");
|
|
osd_set_bgcolor(osd, "black", 100);
|
|
|
|
char* message = "HELLO XOSD-XFT" ;
|
|
osd_display(osd, message, strlen(message));
|
|
|
|
usleep(1000000);
|
|
osd_destroy(osd);
|
|
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
|
|
}
|
|
