Is it (or will it be) possible to:

-Set the font/bg/etc. color through a variable?
-Have more than one OSD on screen at the same time?
-Have varying fonts of multiple sizes in one OSD?

I was recently attempting to add some style to my Winamp OSD's, but was unsuccessful. I'm hoping that it is simply my own ignorance.

Off-hand I would say no. The solution I thought would work was to run XP OSD twice, for instance, one for big text in the center, and one for small text at the top, but no go -- as soon as the command for small text was issued, the big text was erased. :(

thelackey,

Unfortunately, the answer to all 3 questions is no. As Mike pointed out, only one instance of an XP OSD window will run at any one time.

Sorry -- Steve

Oh well. Thanks anyway! Maybe in a future version huh?
