How to see chat over game. Linux

[SilentAssassin7]

If anyone is interested, I just found a way to overlay the chat on top of your game when you're streaming so that you can see your chat on Linux.

You just have to pop-out the chat and then right click the top of the window and select "Always on Top"

Idk why I didn't think of this before. The answer was right there the whole time.

I hope this helps!

Hi,

nice idea. Just a few thoughts here to share:

Advantages:
+ easy to guess/come up by yourself (no bad intended)
+ easy to setup

Disadvantages:
- you have to share your desktop (bad when you only have one computer)
- It overlays your game/programm somewhere where you don't want an overlay (e.g. important parts of it)
- it is not transparent on all WMs (e.g. FVWM-Crystal doesn't support this)
- you may wish to remove the WM's frame, maybe not all WMs support this (mine maybe does)
