Nothing built-in, however what I like to use these days because it is
simple and looks slick is, curiously enough, Salling Clicker whose
primary purpose is to control a mac via your bluetooth cell phone or
Palm. Part of Salling Clicker is the background application "SEC
Helper" which, among other things, can overlay a message on the screen
(similar to the visual feedback that is given for the volume keys,
brightness keys, etc). For example:
tell application "SEC Helper"
show screen message "Hello race fans!"
end tell
Version 2.0 of Salling Clicker includes the ability to incorporate
images in the overlay as well. For example:
tell application "SEC Helper"
show screen message "Current album" image alias "Album Covers:Siamese
Dream.jpg"
end tell
Also useful to general scripters is the ability to show a bar filled up
to a specified percent (commonly used for volume controls, but could be
used as a progress indicator):
tell application "SEC Helper"
show screen message "Volume" percentage value 0.25
end tell
