XSOverlay News

[h3]This is a release candidate build, and is likely to go to the live branch.[/h3]

[h2]CHANGES SINCE LAST BETA[/h2]
[h3]CHANGES[/h3]

• Added: Experimental Option, Input blocking. This just automates the process of turning on the global overlay input blocking system through SteamVR settings. This option will allow XSO to take control of input exclusively while Layout Mode is open, preventing input to the background application.
  
  
• Changed: Decreased size of Tutorial tooltips by 10%;
  
  
• Changed: Adjusted how "Force High Quality Overlays" works to hopefully sidestep any performance issues.
  

[h3]BUG FIXES[/h3]

• Fixed: Tooltips get stuck being open when quickly transitioning from a tooltipped element to a desktop capture.

[h3]Changes[/h3]
