Usage:

 

OSD displays text on the desktop without a surrounding window, like TV or monitor prompts.

 

If you want to display multiple lines, insert the LF escape sequence (^N) in your text. For example:

 

osd /pos=40,50 This is text with^Nmultiple lines.

 

If you specify the /V (vertical display) option, you cannot also display multiple lines of text.

 

You can combine the window positioning options. For example:

 

osd /hcenter /vcenter /n Your text here

 

OSD will strip leading whitespace in text.

 

You can control up to 10 simultaneous OSD windows with the /ID=n and /C=n options. If you don't specify /ID, OSD will default to window 0.

 

If you don't enter any arguments, OSD will display its command dialog.

 

Options:

 

/=Display the OSD command dialog to help you set the command line options. The /= option can be anywhere on the line; additional options will set the appropriate fields in the command dialog.
