Not a fan of using appdata for CEF components.

Is there some way to put them alongside the overlayplugin.dll like before?

Currently, no. I needed a sane place to store the CEF files and AppData seemed like a good choice since it's the default location for plugins and usually writable. You never know where users try to put the plugin which is why I didn't use the plugin's own folder.

It hasn't been a problem so far but I can probably add a check and make the plugin use an OverlayPluginCef folder next to the OverlayPlugin.dll if it already exists. Might take a while to implement, though, since it's not a high priority for me.

If you run ACT in portable mode, the CEF files won't end up in AppData but that's probably too much of a hassle to setup.

ok, i'll just go with my other idea and set up a symbolic link for them within the overlayplugin folder.
