nickguletskii / GLXOSD

GLXOSD is an extensible on-screen display (OSD)/overlay for OpenGL applications running on Linux with X11 which aims to provide similar functionality to MSI Afterburner/RivaTuner OSD. It can show FPS, frame timings, temperatures and more in OpenGL games and applications. It can also be used to benchmark games, much like voglperf.

Toggle overlay between different corners of the screen? #22

By default, it is in the top-left corner. Maybe have a button so that it can be moved to the bottom-right, top-right, or bottom-left corners?

While there's no shortcut for this, you can edit the configuration text file to change the position of the OSD. This is how I do it on Ubuntu. Open a Terminal, enter the following:

sudo gedit /etc/glxosd.conf

So, I've got it open in Gedit and I just head to lines 52 and 53.

I don't change it drastically, but you could change the values to put it absolutely anywhere on your screen. I like to adjust it further down and slightly more to the right, so this is what it usually looks like for me after I've changed the values:

The beauty of the configuration text file is that you have absolute control on where it appears on the screen, at what size, what font, what color and outline and a whole lot more :)

GLXOSD v3 can be configured to align to any of the 4 corners.
