Overlayer

⚠️ Important: The Game or Application needs to run in Windowed or Borderless Windowed Mode since this is just creating borderless windows with the flag "Always on Top"

(I know theres plenty of tools that do exactly this already, but I was interested in the technical side of things so I just made it myself)

A Tool for Overlaying Images from Snapshots or Live Views of any of your Screens over other Applications or Games

Overlay Types

• Snapshot - Select an Area and Save an Image out of it onto a new Overlay Window you can resize and move around
  • Want to look at a cheat sheet constantly while in game?
  • Wanna have certain boss mechanics written down over your game to remind you during the fight?
  • Found a Puzzle hint in a game but can't view it in the inventory or want to see it permanently? Use this to save the Locker Code for later
• Mirror - Select an Area you want to record onto a new Overlay Window you can resize and move
  • Watch Videos that are open on another screen mirrored on the main screen while gaming, coding or whatever else (like Picture-in-Picture)
  • Watch an important part of a game HUD more central and bigger, for example Cooldowns in an MMO
