What about moving the OSD to the middle of the screen and making it 
semi-transparent, like the current Exit-Watch-Recording OSD? That would 
at least make the OSD remain visible, and it would standardize the UI a 
bit more. I haven't looked at the code to judge if this would mean a 
major rewrite, and also it would be interesting how to handle the 
multiple hierarchy levels (ie. sub-menus). Anyway, just thinking aload.
