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. Screenshot

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.
