# 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 .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

##### [Gentoo](https://gpo.zugaina.org/net-voip/discover-overlay)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo eselect repository enable guru
|
|
sudo emaint -r guru sync
|
|
sudo emerge net-voip/discover-overlay
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 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 system's own package manager.
|
|
|
|
#### Debian/Ubuntu
|
|
|
|
`apt install python3-gi`
|
|
|
|
#### Arch
|
|
|
|
`pacman -S python-gobject`
|
|
|
|
with Wayland support
|
|
|
|
`pacman -S gtk-layer-shell`
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 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`
|
|
|
|
### Debugging
|
|
If you are trying to debug on VS Code you are likely to get the following message:
|
|
```
|
|
/usr/bin/python3: No module named discover_overlay.__main__; 'discover_overlay' is a package and cannot be directly executed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To get around this, copy the main file created by discover-overlay with ``cp $(which discover-overlay) /path/to/Discover/discover_overlay/__main__.py``
|
|
|
|
## 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.
