Video OSD: Pimped? - please!
#1
Question 
There was a thread in the chokemaniac forum , where the VideoOSD was tuned.

While watching a movie and you get your "normal" VideoOSD it would also show:

1. Time / Date
2. Title of Movie being watched

I created a mockup how I would like the VideoOSD to look, maybe someone is able to create it. It would be most appreciated!

One more thing - only if you have got the time though and would be so kind....

There once was a mod where the upper part ( as seen in my mockup ) was also abit dark/transparent, how would I achieve that?

Dont know why you would want it but add this just below
<!-- playstate images -->
at the top of the file
Code:
<control>
   <description>media info background image</description>
   <type>image</type>
   <id>1</id>
   <posx>-10</posx>
   <posy>-10</posy>
   <width>740</width>
   <height>130</height>
   <texture>osd_menu_bg.png</texture>
  </control>
