    I'm curious: Will this get detected by PunkBuster? Projects like TINT (the successor of TSO) have been doing Overlay for ages, but always have problems with Punkbuster (many game cheats apparently use overlay functionality)

    Programs liike Fraps and Steam's overlay get around it by buying into "punkbuster compatible" for a prohibitively high monthly fee.

    If you've finally found a way to overlay without running afoul of PB, then great! If not, unfortunately it's not really of any use for anything online + PB protected ATM, at least not any more so than other OSD/Overlay appas.

    No display for initial build with Civilizations V DX11 in Win7 x64 w/ CCC 11.2, will test latest build.
    Suggestion list:
    - Separate global options as well as Per-application options for:
    - positioning/activating/deactivating overlays
    - Forced Vsync and triple buffering options
    - Optional font settings for overlays
    EDIT
    - option to specify polling freq in ms (milliseconds)

    Version 0.0.5 works in:
    Civ V,
    Black Ops,
    * Batman AA,
    * CnC4: Tiberian Twilight,
    * Medal of Honor,
    GRID,
    ** CoD4: Modern Warfare,

    Note:
    * upon exiting the game back to Windows, error message would be displayed in Windows, saying that the game has "stopped working".
    ** when resolution is changed on menu screen, the sizing of everything becomes distorted because resolution changes, but menu size remains the same (issue was reproduced 3 times, but haven't tested to see if issue remains when OSD is off).
    *** if game is started first, then one Alt-Tabs to desktop and OSD is started, it will not display in-game until game is restarted.
    **** didn't see OSD display in any game unless OSD was started as with Admin Privileges (as stated in 0.0.2 changelog).

    Note:

    ** when resolution is changed on menu screen, the sizing of everything becomes distorted because resolution changes, but menu size remains the same (issue was reproduced and confirmed to be caused by the OSD in CoD4:MW and CoD:MW2).
    *** upon exiting the game, there is a significant delay before the game exits and the desktop is displayed.

    Could be nice to have a chance to load/unload the OSD via key-combo when ingame fullscreen....
    Else it looks and works great (TF2, CS:S, FallOut 3, Metro 2033)

    any thoughts on the font size? too big ?

    user defined font size will be difficult because the font is a precreated texture map which doesnt scale very well

    Would it be possible to turn this into a virtual LCD? Use smartie for instance to send data to it then.

    Of course I understand that getting it to work is a priority, but it would be handy if it could be fed with data from whatever source.
