Introduction to OSD actions

Zoom Player displays brief on-screen messages when certain features are used (e.g. play / pause / volume). The messages provide a visual feedback, confirming your requested actions have being processed.

Enable Pop-Up OSD

Enables the Pop-Up on screen display notification messages (Pause/Stop/Volume/Fast Forward/etc).

Only show Pop-Up OSD in fullscreen mode

Enabling this setting prevents OSD messages from appearing in Window mode.

Show OSD filename when opening a new file

When enabled, opening a new media file will pop an Action OSD with the playing file name.

Prevent OSD from moving off-screen (keep it on-screen when video is zoomed)

If "Position OSD relative to Video" is enabled, this setting prevents the Action OSD from moving off-screen, even if the video is zoomed-in beyond the screen's resolution.

Position OSD relative to Video (Taking Aspect Ratio into consideration)

This setting controls whether the Action OSD appears within the video area or relative to the display area. The difference is that with a display aspect ratio of 4:3 and a playing video with an aspect ratio of 16:9, with this setting enabled, Action OSD appears within the video area. With the setting disabled, the action OSD appears outside the video area, in the black bars area.

OSD Visibility (in seconds)

The number of seconds the Action remain visible on-screen before automatically hiding. By enabling "Extend with long text" the OSD message remains on-screen a bit longer based on the message length.

OSD Message Pixel Offset (DPI adjusted)

The distance toward the center of the screen (in Pixels) where the Action OSD window appears. This value is adjusted based on your display device's DPI setting. For example, if you enter a value of 15 and your TV is set to 300% DPI, the actual pixel value used would be "45".

OSD sizes

Controls the size of OSD elements relative to your monitor's resolution.

OSD Position

The On Screen Position where the Pop-Up Action windows appears.

Display within

Select whether the OSD messages appear within the video area or on a specified monitor.

Override the active skin's Action OSD display (modern)

Enabling this setting overrides the current skin's OSD display when using Modern UI (the Control Overlay).

Override the active skin's Action OSD display (classic)

Enabling this setting overrides the current skin's OSD display when using Classic UI.

Background Opacity (modern)

When using the Modern UI, you can specify the background opacity (transparency) for the Action OSD.

Outline Font (classic)

When using the Classic UI, outlines the Action OSD Font for better clarity (uses slightly more CPU power and may not look appropriate with some skins).

Don't skin the OSD Background (classic)

When using the Classic UI, Enabling this setting will not skin the background and use a background color instead.

Transparent Background (classic, only when the Action OSD isn't skinned)

When using the Classic UI, Enabling this setting removes the background color rectangle used with OSD action messages. The setting is only applied when OSD messages are not skinned.
