+Configuration
+-------------
+
+Currently only the layer's position can be changed by editing config.cfg
+in appdata (file is automatically created on first run).
+
+
+Controlling live info
+---------------------
+
+It's possible to hide Live info by sending it USR1 signal and show it
+again by sending the same signal. This can be done by simply running
+"killall -USR1 liveinfo" command. This command can also be bound to
+xfce keyboard shortcuts or similar.
+
+Sending the TERM signal ("killall liveinfo") causes it to cleanly exit
+(sending it KILL / -9 signal will leave the layer enabled and visible,
+so is not recommended).
+
+
+Showing custom fields and alternative control
+---------------------------------------------
+
+There is a tool called 'custom' included inside of .pnd, it can be used
+to also send commands and display custom fields. The code is included
+inside the .pnd and can be integrated in other programs, it's simple
+communication over local/unix sockets.
+
+Any command containing a semicolon ":" is interpreted as a field to
+display on screen. For example, running
+./custom "fps: 60"
+will show that string on screen. There is no removal command, the
+string will time out by itself.
+
+Other understood commands are:
+  quit   - self explanatory
+  hide
+  show
+  poke   - if hidden, show up; if visible, exit
