Discover Overlay

[midget3111]

Discover-overlay is an open source implementation of an overlay for Discord - a feature which the standard Linux client is sadly missing. It is highly configurable and displays who is speaking currently and can also display the contents of a text channel. We plan to support other platforms besides discord further down the line.

How is this OBS related? The text channel overlay is a nice way of displaying your stream chat live on your screen, providing the service you use interacts nicely with Discord

Please see the readme for installation instructions. https://github.com/trigg/Discover


Discover is a simple overlay for Discord on Linux, and shows who is talking / text channels over a game you're playing. :D


It implements the overlay feature, which is one of the many features the Linux version lacks compared to the Windows client.


Here's a quick list of changes-


Added rudimentary support for Gamescope and therefore hopefully the Steamdeck.


Added Horizontal & icon only voice layout


Added additional launch flags (settings "-c" and debug "--debug")


Added settings for enabling/disabling the tray icon (Thanks TastyPi)


Added a Gentoo section (Thanks NicolaSmanlotto)


Added option to highlight background when user is speaking (Thanks janwojcicki)


Fixed crash when user changes avatar


Fixed issues with not using a compositor


Fixed custom emojis crashing Discover (Thanks Joshix-1)


Fixed vertical text centering on the voice overlay (Thanks tyzoid)


Fixed app icon and status icon to use the same icon name


Fix for displaying RTL correctly implemented


Warn if server count is too high and only load some guilds
