        Doesn't that depend on how much "border" there is in the theme?
If the theme boxes are large, but there is 50% wasted area, I am quite
happy for that 25% to overlap in the non-text parts of the OSD.

        Well, the "pleasibility" of the interface is defined
by the elegance of theme. Bad theme = poor usability.



        But, there are times when multiple OSDs overlayed is bad.
Like when changing channels quickly in Live TV - the new channel
can display before the previous one has faded - both ugly and
unreadable.
