Discord Overlay v2.3.2 - User request

Discord Overlay V2.1 - Fixes and FPS

This minor release is for some bug fixes and the addition of a frame limiter.

• Should now have better handling of Screen DPI changes.
• No longer crashes if you forceably minimize the main window (via Win+D).
• FPS limiter for those who were seeing increased CPU usage. The default is 10FPS but can be set to 5/10/20/30

Discord Overlay V2.1 - New Configurable Settings

This major release provides users with some customization of the overlay. You can now do the following:

• Enable/Disable the overlay's interactivity with the Overlay Clickable settings.
• Save the window positions and sizes between executions. This should get you up and running much faster if you have a common layout when playing.
• Custom Transparency Key. This is an important one as it allows you to define what colour will be made transparent. Windows Forms does not provide a proper alpha channel transparency, but instead requires an Transparency Key that performs a Green Screen style effect. Where ever it finds that colour, it will make it completely transparent. So if you are seeing specs of transparency in your artwork, pick a different transparency key and hopefully it will solve the issue. BEWARE: Some of the Discord UI is semi-transparent and the chosen colour will bleed through, so pick your colours wisely!

Discord Overlay V1.0 - First Release

• Extract and run the "Discord Overlay.exe" file.
• Move the "Discord Overlay Host" window somewhere out of the way (but must stay on screen somewhere, even in the background).
• Place the "Discord Overlay" window anywhere you want.
• Enable the overlay for "Discord Overlay Host" in the Discord app by going to Settings->Game Activity and clicking the "add it" link. Then select "Discord Overlay Host" from the list of running applications.
• Once selected, click the red button on the right side of the new Discord Overlay Host listing to "enable" overlay for the program.
• Then close the settings, and click on the "Discord Overlay Host" window and wait for the overlay to appear.
• Now you can leave the window open and in the background, but do not minimize it. It can have other programs open on top of it though.
• Next, move the "Discord Overlay" window anywhere you want, resize it to only show the info you need, and then unfocus the window (click on something else). The borders and titlebar will disappear and the background will turn see through.
• To get the borders back so you can move the window, simply click on the visible discord overlay, or click on the program from the task bar, or click on the "Discord Overlay Host" program. It doesn't matter which, you just need to refocus that window, and it will redisplay the titlebar and borders.
