I got started on one using Evas since I was only able to fix some linker 
errors. However, it won't be a library, it will be a command-line app since 
making text appear in OSD form is only a few lines of code. But, I have a 
question: how does one make an Evas transparent (so that only the text on it is 
seen)? That's pretty much all I'm missing (except maybe I'll implement a way to 
manipulate the text's properties in different places later, like a green word 
between two orange ones). Thanks!
