SettingBehavior

EnabledAlways shows the In-Game Overlay in-game, including on multiple monitors.
DisabledHides the In-Game Overlay; use the dashboard sidebar only.

When no game is running, only the dashboard is shown.

Available Features

Game-dependent controls on the overlay strip:

  • Speed Leveling Tracker
  • Experience Meter
  • Gold Meter
  • Instance Alert (Path of Exile 2)
  • Sigils (Diablo IV)

Feature Modes

Features fall into two groups depending on how the dashboard and in-game overlay interact.

Exclusive: Experience Meter, Gold Meter, Instance Alert

  • The feature lives on the dashboard or on your game screen, not both.
  • Overlay preference in Settings → Game Configuration decides the default surface.
  • Opening the feature on one surface moves it from the other.

Dual: Speed Leveling Tracker, Sigils

  • The dashboard view and in-game can both be opened at the same time.
  • The dashboard sidebar controls the dashboard view; the overlay strip controls the in-game widget.
  • The overlay toggle inside the feature only opens or closes the in-game widget.

Dashboard vs. In-Game Overlay

The Dashboard sidebar and In-Game Overlay strip each control their own surface.

Highlighting

  • Dashboard sidebar
    • Leveling / Sigils: Active when the dashboard view is open whether it be on the dashboard or in the feature window.
    • Meters: Active when the meter is open on the dashboard or overlay (while on the Dashboard route).
  • In-Game Overlay strip: Active when that feature's in-game widget is open.
