[h3]NEW FEATURES[/h3]

  • You can find options to configure all of this stuff under Settings / General / Wrist.
  
  
  Here's a preview of what has been updated to UI 3.0
  
  
  Note: Some things have not been updated to UI 3.0 yet! Those are coming soon!
  
  
  
• Analytics / Crash Handling: XSOverlay now includes analytics and crash handling. Data sent is completely anonymous. If you'd like to disable it, you can do so in Settings / General / Analytics. If you are experiencing frequent issues, I'd request you leave it on, as it will help me gauge how to fix said issues.
  
  
• Windows Touch Input is now an option. Old users will default to Emulate Mouse -- New users will default to Touch Input. You can change it in the settings.
  
  
• New Settings:
  • Pointer Scale is now adjustable.
    
  • Tooltips can now be disabled.
    

[h3]CHANGES[/h3]

• Wrist UI, Window Toolbar, Window Settings, and Global Settings have all been updated to use the new UI 3.0 standard.
  
  
• Localization now has more options, as well as affects the entire interface everywhere. If you'd like to contribute to localization, please do so by clicking here. Localizations will be updated / added on updates cycles.
  
  
• Block Input to Background Applications now functions differently -- when hovering over an overlay, input will be blocked to the background application. When not hovering over an overlay, input will not be blocked.
  
  
• The Internal Structure of Layouts has been upgraded from v2 to v3. This should make them slightly more consistent.
  
  
• When Block Input is enabled on an overlay, the cursor will turn red and fade out to let you know that you cannot interact with that overlay.
  
  
• Tundra Trackers now have their own icon.
  
  
• Capturing the desktop / windows on a newer version of Windows will no longer display a yellow border. This is a Windows limitation and youll probably need to be on Windows 11 for this to work.
  
  
• Added two more meme language translations because I can, and you can't stop me. Enjoy the emoji language today.
  

[h3]BUG FIXES[/h3]

• Various fixes to Windows Graphics Capture to increase stability.

• Fixed an issue that could cause tooltips to be either massive or tiny.
  

[h2]Developer Note[/h2]
[h3]This build is considered to be "Release Ready," in that it may have bugs, but none of them are considered to be horribly breaking. If you find a horribly breaking bug, please report it!

We're seriously close to shipping to live! I'm nervously excited! This is a big update!

[h2]Whats this? Translation? What's going on here??[/h2]

[h3]
Hi everybody! Xiexe here. Obviously. You knew that.

Anyways, XSOverlay has long had a base set of localization files to work with, of which were great for getting on the ground running for multiple languages which makes everything nice and wonderful for users all over the world!

However, as time goes on, and things get changed, those files get outdated, or maybe XSO doesn't even have one for your language!

So, getting to the point...

I've long gotten a lot of requests along the lines of, "Hey, can I help you translate the UI to [insert language here]???" which always ended up being a bit weird to coordinate, so I usually just didn't take that help.

So today, I'm finally opening up a public crowdin page for translations.

If you speak multiple languages and would like to see your language added to XSOverlay in the future, please head over to this crowdin page and start submitting translations!

Thank you! Happy translating!

Note: Translations on Crowdin are up to date as of Beta Release Candidate 4. Future updates may require more translations, and translation files are not backwards compatible with old versions of XSOverlay.
