Hey,

thanks for this great program!

There is only a issue with the latest release, and with latest git build. Here is a Video:

The UI is in few Places broken/unuseable.

Thanks for your time.

Hi @solisinvictum , this is a known issue when you have a Hidpi display and use interface scaling. The pre-compiled version (.tar.xz) already has a fix for that. You can also try the goverlay-bin package from the AUR, it also has the fix.

thanks @benjamimgois

thats indeed fixed that.

Maybe it is worth to be mentioned on the startpage? (or by first run of the program. it could detect hidip display and give a warning).

Edit: But if the precompiled version has the fix in it, why isnt it in the source code self?

That's a very good idea. Will try to implement that !

The problem is that we need to change a compilation parameter inside Lazarus before compiling Goverlay. By installing goverlay from the AUR you're basically compiling the source code. It's not a good practice that a package make changes in another package in the system (it could lead to unexpected problems). So the precompiled binary was the only suitable solution.

What GPU are you using ? I use to have a Nvidia GPU and the binary fixed the issue. Recently i updated to a Radeon and the issue appeared again.

Nvidia GTX 3070 Ti. I was thinking that maybe the issue might be solved using a different theme or theme engine (qgnomeplatform?)...but I haven't tried that yet
