-XOSD (X On-Screen Display) is a versatile utility that enables
-the display of text messages directly on your X Window System
-screen. What sets XOSD apart is its ability to render text
-as an unmanaged and shaped overlay, creating a transparent
-effect that mimics the on-screen displays found on televisions,
-VCRs, and other consumer electronic devices. This allows for
-non-intrusive notifications, status updates, or other textual
-information to be presented to the user without interfering
-with active applications or requiring dedicated window space.
-XOSD is particularly useful for providing subtle feedback
-in various desktop environments and applications, enhancing
-the user experience with its elegant and unobtrusive display method.
+XOSD displays text on your screen; sounds simple, right? The difference is
+that it is unmanaged and shaped, so it appears transparent. This gives the
+effect of an on-screen-display, just like on your TV/VCR, etc.
