Ogre FPS Overlay

Question

I want to make a FPS and debugging info overlay similar to the one in the bottom of this image http://www.ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/dl1692&display but without using SDKTrays or OIS, can anyone give me a snippet code (C++) for it. Also I want to customize its look, I mean changing its font and background color. Thanks in advance.

Simple as adding the 40 lines class file to your project loading a font of your choice and calling TextRenderer::getSingleton().printf("text", "Last FPS: %f", renderwindow->getLastFPS()); from your update method body.

Don't forget to initialize and remove the text overlay!

EDIT:

You can change it color on the initialization of the overlay: TextRenderer::getSingleton().addTextBox("text", "Last FPS:", 10, 10, 100, 20, Ogre::ColourValue(redValue, greenValue, blueValue, alphaValue);

And the font on the fontdef file.

Not sure about the background, but you can easily add another overlay behind the text modifying the addTextBox method.
