Introduction to OSD actions
Zoom Player can have a brief on-screen message appear when most of its functions are used, this can be useful when using a remote device or just to have additional visual feedback.

Enable Pop-Up OSD
Enables the Pop-Up Action OSD used to notify of system events (Pause/Stop/Fast Forward/etc...).

Outline Font
Outlines the Action OSD Font for better clarity (uses a bit more CPU power and may not look appropriate with some skins).

Don't skin the OSD Background
When enabled, the Action OSD will not be skinned.

Transparent Background (only when the Action OSD isn't skinned)
When the current skin does not contain skinned elements for the Action OSD, you can make the text background transparent, instead of having a color background for the text.

Show Time Seek Position Over Timeline
When enabled, moving the mouse cursor over the timeline will pop a small OSD showing the position the Timeline will seek-to if the left mouse button is clicked. The "Select Font" button next to this setting allows you to select the font that will be used to display the seek-to information.

OSD Position
The Screen-Position where the Action OSD will appear.

OSD Message Pixel Offset
The distance toward the center of the screen (in Pixels) where the Action OSD will appear.

OSD Visibility (in seconds)
The number of seconds the Action OSD will remain visible before hiding automatically.

Fullscreen OSD enlarge by
This value controls by how much the Action OSD font will enlarge when going fullscreen.

Position OSD relative to Video (Taking Aspect Ratio into consideration)
This setting controls whether the Action OSD appears within the video area or relative to the display area. The difference between the two is that if your display area is 4:3 and the video you are currently viewing is 16:9, with this setting enabled, the Action OSD would appear within the video area and with this setting disabled, the action OSD would appear outside the video area.

Prevent OSD from moving off-screen (keep it on-screen when video is zoomed)
If the on screen display is set to be relative to the video size, this setting will prevent the Action OSD from moving offscreen even if the video is zoomed beyond the screen's size.

Show OSD filename when opening a new file
When enabled, opening a new media file will pop an Active OSD with the file name.
