I can say that this feature is not in kover 0.8.4. Upstream has a long time a 2.8.x series with as far as I could see many improvements, but they require Qt3 and KDE 3, from which the last one is not in unstable, so I could not investigate what features he added, and packaging it isn't possible either of course. Anyway, if I want to realize such effects as you are describing with kover, I load the image I want to embed with overlayed text in e.g. GIMP or some other program, and add the text there. This should not make much more hassle I suppose... Regards, Rene -- .''`.
