It looks like
upstream lost a lot of configuration
options in Kaffine in
the later releases. For example, here is an
older document referring to
the OSD configuration tab, which is competely
gone on
my systems:

Huh. Now that I see those config dialogs, I vaguely recall see them long ago. Vaguely.
As far as I can tell, my kaffeinerc file does not contain some of those settings. I see
the following OSD settings:
OSD Duration=5
Osd Timer=false
I don's see any config settings for OSD font or color. Nothing in dvbrc either.
I'll see whether I can find the sources for the older versions. Whether they build is
another story... Perhaps some old sources might contain those related config file settings
and I can test whether they will still function.
Another idea: Are you using the Xine engine? If so
AFAIK Xine is the
program actually generating the OSD. Try changing the
OSD palette in the
Xine engine configuration dialog (it's in the Kaffeine
settings menu) to
see if the OSD colors change.
No luck. I received a message box that only the xine engine can be used for DVB. FWIW, as
my KDE3 and TDE systems use the same underlying OS, that means the same xine package too.
