Settings - Tray & OSD - OSD

OSD stands for On Screen Display, this means you can make MBM show values on the screen, it's a bit like a window always on top except that it's transparent, so only the text is shown and you can see and click through it like it's not really there.

Special thanks go to Stig J°rgensen for comming up with this idea and for sending me some example code on which I could easly build this feature and eventually him just taking it over and creating all these cool features it now has.

A few technical notes about the OSD:

- It's a DLL loaded when needed, so no resources used when you don't want it
- It only updates every 5 seconds, does not mater what the mbm interval is
- It only updates when it's visible, so if your running a full screen application it won't update in the background to save resources
- the OSD can be very CPU hungry, so running it with a font size of 72 and a screen full of text will take cpu power

OSD position on screen X% from the left and Y% from the top

By using the sliders you select where the OSD text comes on the screen, the position you give is in percentage, where 0,0 means top left and 100,100 means bottom right. The position you give here determins where the top left position of the OSD text comes on the screen.

OSD Hotkey

Here you can set the OSD hotkey, pressing this hotkey with your keyboard will make the OSD appear on your screen, the OSD Enabled should not be turned on, else there is no need to show the OSD again with the hotkey. The OSD display will stay on the screen till 3 seconds after you released the hotkey. The hotkey should always be pressed together with the Combination you select, default this would be CTRL+ALT+M

OSD Hotkey delay

Here you enter the delay time in ms that the OSD should remain on the screen after you released the key. If you enter 0 then the OSD will remain on the screen till you press the hotkey combination again
