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

git clone https://github.com/trigg/Discover.git
cd Discover
sudo bash install.sh

Dependencies

Requires PyGTK3, websocket_client

A compositor is strongly advised but there is a non-compositor mode optionally

python3 -m pip install websocket_client

Usage

run discover-overlay

Comes with sane-enough defaults but has a system tray icon & settings window if needed.

Updating

Navigate to location of installation

git pull
sudo bash install.sh

Still in progress

Not all features are at the level I would like.

To do list:

• Text channels
• Text notifications (different from above)
• Open to suggestions

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.
