Created attachment 136971 [details]
OSD is very low

SUMMARY
When changing the volume or brightness, the OSD now appears well below the center in a position that is very strange. See attachment. This is unlike 5.18 where it was centered.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Change volume or brightness to see OSD

OBSERVED RESULT
1. OSD is shown very low on the screen

EXPECTED RESULT
1. OSD should be in the center

This is intentional; when in the past it was positioned higher up, we got constant complaints from people that it was blocking the main view of what was being displayed in full-screen video.
Comment 2 Lucas 2021-03-23 23:22:24 UTC
Is there a way we can change this report to become a request for a new feature to customize appearance of OSD? I would like to be able to change the vertical and horizontal position in the settings as well as the size and icons.

Some people like it in the center, others like it very low. Some people hated the OSD that used to have the icons, and others liked it. Some people want large OSD, others want minimal OSD. Some people want OSD in upper left corner like Windows 10, others want it in the center.

Therefore a configuration page to change the OSD would be nice.

Notice on Reddit that some people have resorted in the past to modifying the codes to change their OSD: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/9j57z2/fixing_the_awful_volumebrightness_osd_size/
