Description: KOSD is a simple framework for the KDE Desktop providing an OSD in response to media key presses.
How to install:
Step 1: If you have an older version of KOSD already installed, remove it completely before proceeding.
Step 2: To build and install KOSD change to the extracted source directory and type:
mkdir build && cd build cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` .. make make install (as root)
Step 3: Log out and back in to make sure the modules are loaded correctly by KDED (or run kquitapp kded && kded4).
Step 4: In System Settings go to Shortcuts and Gestures->Global Keyboard Shortcuts. Select KOSD from the components list and reassign your keys as needed.
Step 5: Go to Workspace Appearance->On-Screen Display to adjust KOSD to your liking.
That's it. Enjoy!
P.S.: Don't like monochrome icons? Then create the file .kde4/share/config/kosd_keysrc. Put the lines
[General] UseSvg=0
in it and restart the KOSD Keys service.
You can also set the mixer control by adding the line
MixerControl=name
where name is the name of your desired control (e.g. Master, PCM, ...).Last changelog:
Changelog from 0.8.0 to 0.8.1 * Fixed some power management issues
Changelog from 0.7.1 to 0.8.0 * Added standard methods for battery, brightness and volume, allowing the pixmaps to be kept in memory, which avoids hard disk reads and makes the OSD more responsive
Changelog from 0.7.0 to 0.7.1 * Fixed a possible crash, if no mixer control named "Master" exists
Changelog from 0.6.2 to 0.7.0 * Changed KOSD Keys Service to use ALSA directly instead of relying on KMix
Changelog from 0.6.1 to 0.6.2 * Fixed CMakeLists.txt not to link against libsolidcontrol which is no longer used
Changelog from 0.6.0 to 0.6.1 * Made KOSD Keys Service compatible with KDE SC 4.6
Changelog from 0.5.1 to 0.6.0 * Added support for (Plasma-themed) SVG icons * Many improvements throughout the code
Changelog from 0.5.0 to 0.5.1 * Fixed the mixer to always use the correct master channel
Changelog from 0.4.2 to 0.5.0 * Split up the monolithic application into a KDED module for the OSD, a KDED module for the key listener, a system settings module and a simple access library allowing any application to use the OSD * Replaced the old OSD by new, fully Plasma based OSDs. There's now a "standard" OSD similar to the old one and a "compact" OSD similar to the OSDs provided by KMix and Powerdevil
Hi,
your KOSD is very beauty and I love it, but I do not know how to use it.
I use Kubuntu 12.10 and as per default it use Knotify, so in other words, I don't know how to use KOSD instead of Knotify.
Thanks and thanks for share your work,

Hi there!
After upgrading to KDE 4.9.1 I get bug somewhere between ACPI and KOSD: I've enabled "show brightness level" on both "decrease" and "increase" brightness keys, but every time KOSD show brightness it decreases brightness level to 25%.
And if I disable "show brightness level" (by removing keys) — ACPI change brigntness level fine.
I have no idea, where this 25% came from.
UPDATE:
It change Brightness level to value, that it remembers after changing with KOSD's "Increase"/"Decrease".
And, it means when I press BrUp or BrDn — I see how ACPI change it, then KOSD's indicator, and after few milliseconds like KOSD restore level, that it remember.
Hi
This sounds like a bug within KDE's power management. I don't see how KOSD could produce such an error. Try running qdbusviewer (should be installed as part of Qt), select org.kde.Solid.PowerManagement on the left and navigate to org/kde/Solid/PowerManagement/org.kde.Solid.PowerManagement on the right. Click on 'Method: brightness' after changing the brightness with your keys. Does this produce the same error? If so, you should file a bug report for KDE.
Best regards.
I have created the PPA repsitory with kosd deb package for ubuntu maverick 10.10 (kubuntu) users: https://launchpad.net/~murznn/+archive/kde-osd
And additionally I do the PPA repo for users with KDE 4.6 version from backports:
https://launchpad.net/~murznn/+archive/kde-osd-4.6
Please test it and post bugs if find.
Can I show KOSD window with some info via dbus command? Or with any cli command?
I need to display OSD info on screen about volume, brightness and other values from scripts and can't find any way do do this in KDE.
Thank's for the hint, I find it!
Before I search in org.kde.* but didn't see it.
Can you give me some examples how to use it?
I find how I can show the text, but svg image don't want to show.
For example, I do:
$ qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/kosd showSvgOsd /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/wine.svg "" "hello world" 50
And kosd shows only "hello world" and 50% of progress bar, but no icon.
How I can show the icon?
And can I show only text or image without progress bar?
Can I show multiline text?
You need to specify the SVG elements you want to show.
If you want multiple lines, you can use <br> for a line break.
The progress bar is always visible.
Here's an example:
qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/kosd showSvgOsd icons/battery "(" "Battery" "Fill60" ")" "Hello<br>World" 50
Any idea whats wrong?

Can I show this OSD notifications via command line?
I searching the replacement for knotify that show auto-hide notifications (that don't group in notification history).
Can I activate your notifications via some command like notify-send?
Which params can I use to customize it?
Very cool osd!! But have a hard task for you (dunno if already asked): avoid resizing flash videos when in full screen and contemporary pressing volume controls on keyboard (an annoyance in kmix' osd too).
As far as i can remember there used to be a slider for adjusting size of KOSD in previous versions. In 0.5.1 there is no way to make the OSD bigger or smaller.

Just upgraded to KDE 4.5.0 and KOSD 0.5, and works great as always.
Even better really since it's now more integrated than it was before.
This is really something that you should consider to move into kdereview for a possible inclusion into kdebase for 4.6 IMO.
Not every program would need to be able to react to multimedia keys but two programs I use regularly could benefit from being able to take Kosd for granted (in a full KDE environment at least): namely Amarok and K3B. Possibly more, but those at least have their own OSD code. It would be great if they could just use your lib so the look and position of the OSD would just be inhertited.

The methods for showing the OSD are exposed via D-Bus. See org.kde.kded -> /modules/kosd.

You'll need KDE SC 4.5 for KOSD 0.6.0 and 4.6 for KOSD 0.6.1. You should really upgrade your KDE installation.

Try again with KOSD 0.6.1.
Works here at least :) Thanks, I was hoping it would be updated soon!
Can I show this OSD notifications via command line? I searching the replacement for knotify that show auto-hide notifications (that don't group in notification history). Can I activate your notifications via some command like notify-send? Which params can I use to customize it?
Maybe I can communicate with KOSD via dbus?

You don't have kdelibs5-dev and kdebase-workspace-dev installed on your system. Install'em first, and than run cmake and make again.
