Feature-Wish: Please Improve OSD

[7auser]

Dear Vincent
Thank you very much for dashkiosk! I have been evaluting it with the help of your demo instance and I like it very much! After I learned how to use the api thanks to the great documentation, I managed to use the OSD which would be my main application (Sending Alert information to different screens that display e.g. Visitor information etc).
However the OSD does not support multi line text (or I could not figure out how). If it would be easily possible, the following would be my wishes for osd:

1. If text length > 1 Line, please wrap around to the next line (or scroll message). -> Important to me
2. If possible, please leave away screen size etc (I attached a screenshot to try and make this more clear) -> Less Importand
3. How would you suggest to do it if I would like the text to dissapear after some time? Maybe add a new parameter "timeout"? The OSD seems to stay when I switch between dashboards with the built in timeout
   Not needed, text display "speed" font-size, font etc. (I'm very happy with the defaults provided here).

Just some suggestions how to futher improve dashkiosk, if this is out of scope, please feel free to close without comment!
Thanks

Not totally out of scope, but I don't have currently the time to implement that.

I accomplished something like this by combining dashkiosk with dashing.
They're my Chromecast powered partners in crime!

@plitewaikato thanks a lot for the hint regarding dashing, looks really interesting! Maybe you could also point me to a widget that deals with text display? Or did you publish your solution somewhre?
