Hey,

thanks for this great program!

There is only a issue with the latest release, and with latest git build. Here is a Video:

The UI is in few Places broken/unuseable.

Thanks for your time.

Hi @solisinvictum , this is a known issue when you have a Hidpi display and use interface scaling. The pre-compiled version (.tar.xz) already has a fix for that. You can also try the goverlay-bin package from the AUR, it also has the fix.

thanks @benjamimgois

thats indeed fixed that.

Maybe it is worth to be mentioned on the startpage? (or by first run of the program. it could detect hidip display and give a warning).

Edit: But if the precompiled version has the fix in it, why isnt it in the source code self?

That's a very good idea. Will try to implement that !

The problem is that we need to change a compilation parameter inside Lazarus before compiling Goverlay. By installing goverlay from the AUR you're basically compiling the source code. It's not a good practice that a package make changes in another package in the system (it could lead to unexpected problems). So the precompiled binary was the only suitable solution.

Not for me sadly. Installed via aur. See this: https://imgur.com/a/3a0NuZA

What GPU are you using ? I use to have a Nvidia GPU and the binary fixed the issue. Recently i updated to a Radeon and the issue appeared again.

Nvidia GTX 3070 Ti. I was thinking that maybe the issue might be solved using a different theme or theme engine (qgnomeplatform?)...but I haven't tried that yet

i've got this issue on a 2060 12gig too (even while using the precompiled version and the AUR binary). for now the only fix i've found is to disable systemwide scaling while goverlay's running. it's not a good fix, but it works.

Radeon rx 6600 xt, 1080p and I have this. Using:

aur/goverlay-bin 0.9.1-3 (+47 0.50) (Installed)

The next release will have this issue fixed. You can test it already with the latest git version

Looking forward to seeing this fix land in the Debian packages. :+1:
