A QT browser window to overlay Discord activity over the screen.
qt5-webengine pyqt5 python-pyqtwebengine python-pyxdg
Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt install python3-pyqt5 python3-pyqt5 qtwebengine python-pyxdg
Arch: Grab it from the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/discord-overlay-git
Others: Download and run with Python3
On first use two windows will show.
The first allows you to choose which widget you want to use as your overlay from the top, and make any changes to the style.
The second shows you which display and where on it the overlay will be placed.
- If loaded before Discord is logged in no display will show. Quite possible that unexpected Discord crashes will cause the same issue
- As this uses Discords StreamKit under the hood there is no way to interact with the overlay itself.
- Wayfire/Wayland - Works Perfectly
- Openbox/X11 - Works Perfectly
- Gnome/X11 - Works
