Minimalistic Overlay (with a few limitations...)

[Meelkee]

As I read about some people looking for a simple overlay, I thought I’d share mine. Currently it has several limitations as I just wrote it to suit my needs:

* Just shows who is talking, there are no configuration options at the moment
* Just works on Windows 8.1+ (this won’t ever change due to the APIs used)
* Just works with games that use windowed fullscreen
* Just works on the main screen (haven’t tested on multiple screens, yet)
* is also shown when not ingame

So it might work for you just as well as it does for me - if it doesn’t, just please don’t use it

If there’s enough interest in this plugin, I will consider adding some options for resizing / repositioning.

I hope it’s of use to at least some of you

Registered just to comment on this. This is really lovely, and something I'd be happy to use while streaming.

More options would be great - changing fonts, position, opacity, that sort of thing.

If you want this kind of options you should try another overlay plugin for teanspeak.

@jamsessionein: thanks for signing up just to comment on my plugin

I'm sure simple options to customize appearance will be possible. I'll try to add some at the end of the week.

Also just signed up to reply to this thread. This overlay is exactly what I'm looking for, a simple replacement so I can get rid of Overwolf. Looking forward to seeing if you'll include the ability to reposition/resize as then it'll be almost perfect (just needs an indication if message is whisper to be perfect)

I signed up as well just to say thank you for this overlay plugin

Thanks

I'll try to find some spare minutes for the positioning- & resizing-config as well as a whisper indicator, then.

Awesome!

Very simple and I like it. Has anyone ran into trouble with games/servers accidentally recognizing this as a potential hack?
