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.

Add support for custom commands #56

Closed Xaero252 closed 8 years ago

Xaero252 commented 8 years ago

This would allow a user to tailor the output of GLXOSD to their specific needs, line-by-line if they so chose. For example, one could have a ~/.glxosdrc file and specify the output of glxosd based on that similar to conky, by using individual shell commands and displaying the STDOUT from those commands.

I'll implement this once I get the chance (I am currently busy, so don't expect this sooner than in a month or so). It's something that I had on my mind for a long time myself.

GLXOSD v3 has a plugin API. There isn't much documentation yet, but stay tuned for more information.
