Hello Linuxers,

This release brings several improvements that I’ve been wanting to implement for a long time.
The biggest highlight is the installation, update, and configuration workflow for OptiScaler.
You can now enable OptiScaler in any Steam game with just a few clicks.

To make this possible, Goverlay now integrates with the amazing work done by other projects, including decky-framegen by @xXJSONDeruloXx and fgmod by @FakeMichau.
We also automatically download, update, and configure FakeNVAPI as part of this new workflow.

Another major addition is the Goverlay update checker, which notifies users when a new version is available — especially helpful for distros with slower release cycles.

Fixes

  • Fixed waitOnExit handling when running external processes.
  • Several small UI fixes and cleanup.
  • Code cleanup and consistency updates.

UI/UX

  • General UI layout and hint/tooltip improvements.
  • Progress bar moved to mangobarPanel.
  • Notifications now hide after menu interaction.
  • Improved download button behavior.
  • "About" moved to context menu.
  • Added Ko-fi donation link.

Dependencies

  • Added required external tools: p7zip and wget.
