Hi there! I use the osd_cat command from xosd-bin package to display various  
things. For example this is my shortcut to display batteryosd_cat -A center  
-o10 -d3 -b percentage -T Battery -c yellow -P$((100*`cat  
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/charge_now`/`cat  
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/charge_full`)) -O1Similarly you can find the  
brightness value somewhere under sysfs and feed it to osd_cat. You can use  
the amixer command to get and set volume.

No eye candy but gets the job done.
