Is there a way to fetch the current x & y position of the overlay? #121

I'm attempting to retrieve the updated x and y coordinates of the overlay window after moving it, but the window.getPosition() consistently returns the same [x, y] value. Any suggestions on how to accurately fetch the x and y coordinates?

if you need to get the in game postion of an overlay window, you can add an ipc message for it, pass it from ingame dll to app side thought the IPC each time a movement is done

Thank you, @hiitiger. Can you direct me to the specific file I should check?

here you can send back the new windows position from in-game to electron side
