Version: 0.2.3 KOSD is a simple OSD.

It runs in the background and responds to button presses by showing a little OSD. It delegates the job of changing the volume to KMix. Currently following actions are supported: raise volume, lower volume, mute/unmute volume, show volume, show brightness, show battery charge.

Make sure KMix is running. Then select KOSD from your K-Menu. You can also run KOSD from the command line. Type 'kosd --help' to see what options are available. KOSD also provides a DCOP interface. If you want to run KOSD from your own scripts, run 'dcop kosd kosd' to see what functions are available.
