On Screen Display

On Screen Display is a tiny and portable software utility that displays any user-defined text on screen. It is developed in Delphi and does not come equipped with complicated features or customization preferences, making it accessible to all types of users, regardless of their previous experience with software applications.

As there is no setup pack involved, you can save the executable file to any part of the hard disk and just click it to run. There is also the option to save On Screen Display to a USB flash disk or other removable storage unit, in order to launch it on any PC directly, without previous installers.

An important aspect worth mentioning is that the Windows registry and Start menu do not get modified, and no extra files are created on the disk, thus no traces are left behind after deleting On Screen Display.

The GUI is user-friendly, which consists of a small window with a simplistic structure. All you have to do is paste or type text to display on the screen and view it in the upper left corner of the monitor. It is possible to change font settings when it comes to type, style, size, effects, color and script. There are no other notable options provided by this software application.

The tool does not put a strain on PC performance, since it runs on low CPU and memory. It has a good response time and works well, without causing Windows to hang, crash or pop up error messages. On the other hand, it comes packed with limited settings. We must also take into account that On Screen Display has not been updated for a pretty long time.
