OSD is for "On Screen Display", basically, it's what appears temporarily in your TV when you switch channel or change the volume. It's a way if displaying "passive" information that doesn't necessarily require all of your attention, doesn't need a specific log, but which is nice to know anyway if you happen to look in that direction.
LanOSD can also forms a network with it's other LanOSD friends running in other machines close by, and decide which one(s) are supposed to display messages. Each machine has a priority, and the machines that have the highest priority at any given time displays

Add new item under menubar item for 'send icons" and show icons choices as cascading menu.
it's neat and has potential.

You get to pick and choose which items to remove from the main menu and put into the "concentrator". You also have control over how they arranged and displayed (icon only, name and icon, font size, alphabetically, most used at top, etc0.
This would be a great way to have quick access to those items that you would like to get to quickly without taking up menu bar space, esp on smaller displays.
At the moment it seems that displaying a message is the key feature of this product, so the Display Message dialog box should have a larger entry field for entering text.
I also suggest having a new list item for quickly sending icons. Under "new message..." and with a cascading list of icons to quickly choose from. this would allow someone to quickly indicate they just got a phone call or sent an urgent email to a group of people.
I agree, this app fills a space not filled by IM or email. It has potential

- Multiple lines seem to affect positioning
- Positioning is a little "off" (longer lines of text shift the OSD to the right)
- When local messages are sent to the network they seem to "echo" and result in 2 lines of the same text.
Would be nice to be able to have a display that is just centered in the screeen.
