Description

bosd flashes transient, click-through feedback over the desktop: a PNG glyph, countdown digits, large or small outlined text, or a gauge bar. A warm daemon per channel repaints in place so rapid key repeats never flash.

In the other systems

The newest version among them is 11.1, as upstream numbers it.
