The Modernization Update
Hello Linux Gamers!
I'm thrilled to announce Goverlay 1.8.0. This release is a major milestone, focused on a complete visual overhaul and the delivery of some of our most requested features ever.
- UI Modernization
-- The interface has been redesigned from the ground up for a sleeker, more intuitive experience:
-- New Dark Theme: A deeper, more consistent palette optimized for long gaming sessions.
-- Redesigned Sidebar: Collapsible navigation to maximize your workspace.
-- Material Design 3: A fresh, "flat & clean" look for the Tweaks tab.
-- System Status Card: A new way to monitor your hardware at a glance.
-- Improved Navigation: Global settings (gear icon) now conveniently located at the bottom of the sidebar.
- Per-Game Configuration
The wait is over! You can now customize settings for individual titles without affecting your global config.
-- Game-Specific Mode: Click any game card to start tweaking (currently supporting Steam).
-- Visual Badges: Instantly see which tools (MangoHud, vkBasalt, etc.) are active via badges on the game cards.
-- Quick Access: Right-click a game to jump directly to its folder or Prefix.
-- One-Click Reset: Easily uninstall all changes via the right-click menu.
- Interactive Shortcut Capture
-- Setting up hotkeys is now seamless. Just click, press your desired key combination, and Goverlay captures it automatically.
- Key Fixes & Improvements
-- OptiScaler: GPU driver choices are now persistent and stored in goverlay.conf.
-- OptiScaler: Fixed the "constant update" notification bug.
-- File Integrity: Fixed an issue where Goverlay would accidentally delete ReShade's dxgi.dll.
-- System Cleanliness: Improved logic to prevent the unnecessary creation of ~/.var.
and many others i might forgot.
** Special thanks:**
#288 @Damglador Refactor: do not save flatpak config if ~/.var does not exist
#287 @brlin-tw Fix: formatting error and typo in README.md
#285 @vh-x Fix: sync original_dlls array in fgmod with fgmod-uninstaller to prevent file loss
Hope you all like it !
