Description Kenneth Poulsen 2007-02-19 20:45:51 UTC
Version:           1.0.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

The OSD (On Screen Display) should be moveable.
My suggestion is that clicking and holding on the display should enable a move-mode, where you can put the OSD where you want it.

BTW: I really like this app, thanks - so keep up the good work guys!

If you're in the "On Screen Display" preferences page you can drag the OSD around to change the position it appears at. That doesn't float your boat?

Ahhhh silly me...! It never occured to me that the preference page had to be open for this.

Of course you're right. Maybe a note in the manual could state this?

Thanks!

I think it would be useful, if the OSD could even be dragged out of the current screen to another one (in a multi-screen setup like xinerama and such), or that keeps the position, but automatically shows it on the screen where the main konversation window is located ?
 
I started up konversation, moved it to screen "1" (my big screen), but the OSD messages still apeared on screen "0".
Then I found the "Notification" -> "On Screen Display" -> "Other Settings" (at the bottom) -> "Screen" option, which gives me "0" and "1" to select from.
Wouldn't it make sense, that the OSD shows automatically up on the screen where konversation runs ?  Maybe adding an "auto" value to this option - which ideally should be the default value - which then puts up the OSD on the same screen as konversation runs (even if you move konversation a runtime between screens) would be a solution ?

Renamed to better reflect the current state of the discussion.
