XOSD Help!!
I've been developing a program over the past few weeks in Ubuntu and it's going well..
The program is simple and straight forward. Change desktop wallpaper based off of current weather conditions. I'm at the point in my program where I want to print text to the desktop making it seem as if the text is a part of the wallpaper.
I've made use of the XOSD library and was able to successfully print the desired text to the screen, however the text is on top of EVERYTHING.
Does anyone have any idea as to how I can modify the xosd source to make the text only appear on the desktop and not on top of every window? Or perhaps someone knows of a solution using XLib?
