OSD (OnScreenDisplay) Patch for Konversation

Posted by muesli in Tech & Net

I started Konversation development some time ago and here's my latest patch. It's an extension, which enables this IRC client to display incoming messages (also joins, events, queries) transparently over your desktop. There is still some work left, of course. Here's my TODO list, regarding this patch:

- Text colour should be configurable. At the moment, it's only possible to display white fonts. I'll fix this one as soon as possible.
- Position of the OSD message needs to be adjustable. Only top border of your desktop, right now.
- Different events should have different colors
- I'm thinking about integrating the OSD support into the KNotify Dialog. Opinions?

Here's the patch.

Install instructions:

- Apply the CVS diff (konversation_osd.patch).
- Copy the other files to your [CVSROOT]/kdeextragear-2/konversation/konversation directory.

Recompile. Be happy
