✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <xosd.h>

int xosd_set_vertical_offset (xosd* osd, int offset);

like yes that's the whole thing, she's short and she slays 🌸

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so. xosd_set_vertical_offset changes the number of pixels the XOSD window is offset from the top or bottom of the screen. literally just moves ur text away from the very edge, no cap.

and the reason u care: this is normally set to a value such as 48 to avoid desktop-panels, such as those provided by GNOME or KDE. bc nothing is more tragic than ur osd text hiding underneath a panel 😭 main character energy blocked. set it to 48 and let her breathe 🫶
