      This command will show a window with the text you want to show:

      zenity --info --text '<span foreground="blue" font="32">Some\nbig text</span>\n\n<i>(it is also blue)</i>'
      

      zenity

      If you run it in the background agent, have your command run this script to set the DISPLAY environment variable first:

      #!/bin/bash
      export DISPLAY=:0
      zenity --info --text '<span foreground="blue" font="32">Some\nbig text</span>\n\n<i>(it is also blue)</i>'
      

      You'll also need to run this as your normal user first:

      xhost +
