# Discover
Yet another discord overlay for linux written in Python using GTK3
Considerably lighter on system resources and less hack-and-slash included than discord-overlay.

## Installing
### Stable
```
python3 -m pip install discover-overlay
```
### Latest Testing
```
git clone https://github.com/trigg/Discover.git
cd Discover
python3 -m pip install .
```
## Dependencies
Most requirements should be handled by pip.
A compositor is strongly advised but there is a non-compositor mode optionally
It is advised to install python-gobject from your own package manager.
#### Debian/Ubuntu
`apt install python3-gi`
#### Arch
`pacman -S python-gobject`
## Usage
run `discover-overlay` if this fails it is most likely in `~/.local/bin/discover-overlay`
Comes with sane-enough default but has a configuration screen to tweak to your own use. Configuration can be reached either via System tray or by running `discover-overlay --configure`
## Why do you keep making Discord Overlays?
I feel like I shouldn't have to at all! Until we get an official one I might just create a new one every few months. Look forward to Rust/Vulkan version coming in a few months.
### Are you serious?
Generally, no.
