DesktopOverlayHost OSD menu not working

[marcoand75]

I use DesktopOverlayHost to see metrics on desktop "C:\Program Files (x86)\RivaTuner Statistics Server\SDK\Tools\DesktopOverlayHost\Release\DesktopOverlayHost.exe"

i can't use OSD menu with ... button for 3 seconds. it only appear on change volume and brightness. can you make it working also in desktop mode?

when i press volume or brightness keys

@marcoand75 However, it appears it can be expensive to run it. As it uses GPU and renders it at 30fps all the time.

Oh. I see it. If you make it use Chroma Key it will not see 3 dots since this window is not in foreground - and this is expected.

Unsure if this can be fixed cleanly, as the idea was that you use 3 dots only on a graphics window that is in foreground to avoid messing with system when not seeing OSD.

Will think about that.

ok... i was checking and you are right, with chroma key not work because not foreground

is a very minor issue, good work, grat tool

A workaround. I have black desktop, and set background color to black and make it a little transparent :P

It works, great workaround
