Possibility for this to work without compositing in future?

jarrard opened this issue · comments

Just wondering if there could be a option for toggling compositor independent mode or something in the future?

Many games now run much better with compositing turned off, so it be nice if something can be done that enables that support because atm as everyone should well know, when compositing is disabled it renders a black box. So compositing must be forced enabled which I've noticed some performance issues in some games due to this.

Good work with the overlay non the less, I quite like it.
Only criticism is compositor requirement and perhaps no All-In-One configuration window.

I found this which uses GTK to achieve exactly this. Maybe there is a way to do the same with Qt, detect no compositor automatically and apply a specific compatibility solution. Its not as pretty with alpha blending but it works!

UPDATE: I failed to notice that this is in fact your new project. LMAO, silly me.
