    I recently upgraded my T430s to Windows 8. But I have a minor issue with the hotkey/OnScreenDisplay driver.

    Below is the onscreen display when using volume. It displays in the top left of the screen and there doesn't seem to have a way to adjust the location of it.

    I also attached the onscreen display when adjusting the back-lit keyboard which is the normal Windows 7 look. I would like to know if it is possible to change the OSD to match those that were on Windows 7 as they all displayed in the center and they all conformed to the same look/color.

    I tried various older drivers and its the same issue. Anybody have any idea?

    Thanks in advance!

    If I'm not mistaken the newer drivers with Windows 8 compatibility do not show the volume and brightness OSD anymore. That's why I chose the "old" Win 7 version which is currently running on my X220 and X301. (hence why I had to post the exe)

    I might be mistaken, but I just wanted to be on the safe side.
