Game Overlay helps get back some of the multi-tasking functionality lost when playing full-screen games.
It allows you view and interact with windows outside the game, but without "Alt-Tabbing" and requiring the game to reinitialize its graphics. It does this by actually rendering the window inside the game! For example, it could be used in the following ways...
 |
Keep up with the conversation...
Overlay your instant messenger and communication programs!
|
 |
Know who's currently talking...
Overlay the GUI for external voice applications such as TeamSpeak or Ventrilo.
|
 |
Never miss an incoming e-mail...
Overlay a semi-transparent e-mail client over the game!
|
 |
Forget about writing down or printing cheat codes...
Simply copy and paste them into Notepad, then overlay it!
|
 |
Keep one eye on your computer stats...
Run a utility in the background checking temperatures, download speeds, etc, then overlay it!
|
Game Overlay works with Direct3D, OpenGL, and DirectDraw games and applications.
