Hello Guilers!
This is the announcement on the initial release of Guile-XOSD, the
bindings for 'libxosd' library¹.
Guile-XOSD is based on the old 'lisposd' project² (the author is Cc-ed):
lisposd already had a .c file (which is the main part, of course). I
just made several additions to "finish" this project. The main changes
are: Makefile was replaced with the GNU Build System infrastructure;
documentation (info manual and docstrings) and examples were added.
All changes are listed here:

Guile-XOSD can be easily installed with GNU Guix using the attached
"guile-xosd.scm" file:
guix package --install-from-file=guile-xosd.scm
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The usage is straightforward:
(use-modules (xosd))
(define osd (xosd-create 1))
(xosd-set-pos! osd 'top)
(xosd-set-align! osd 'right)
(xosd-set-font! osd "-*-dejavu sans-bold-r-normal-*-*-600-*-*-p-*-*-1")
(xosd-set-colour! osd "yellow")
(xosd-set-shadow-offset! osd 4)
(xosd-set-shadow-colour! osd "red")
(xosd-display-string osd 0 "Hello!")
