    Greetings ladies and gentlemen,
    Do you know where the OSD images are at? I'd like to modify them to make look more minimalist or calm per say.
    Thanks.

    Peace.

    First time I've heard of someone looking to do this so can't say I'll have the definitive answer, but I'd suggest first looking into the hotkey utility install seeing where it sticks it's installation files. My money is those images being in those directories somewhere. I can't remember what these monitoring utilities are called that will tell you the directories that are being modified during installation, but those will be the easiest route to getting those directories narrowed down.

    I've tried looking into the directory, sadly no image type of file, none.

    Peace.

    I don't recall there being any image file types in the hotkey driver directory. You can modify the .ini file to not display the OSD at all, but beyond that, I don't see any simple way to edit the images.

    The images are probably embedded directly into the binary file (something easy to do in .net projects).
