Yet another Discord overlay for Linux written in Python using GTK3.
Discover-Overlay is a GTK3 overlay written in Python3. It can be configured to show who is currently talking on discord or it can be set to display text and images from a preconfigured channel. It is fully customisable and can be configured to display anywhere on the screen. We fully support X11 and wlroots based environments. We felt the need to make this project due to the shortcomings in support on Linux by the official discord client.
Considerably lighter on system resources and less hack-and-slash included than discord-overlay.

sudo yum copr enable mavit/discover-overlay
sudo yum install discover-overlaysudo eselect repository enable guru
sudo emaint -r guru sync
sudo emerge net-voip/discover-overlayMost 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 system's own package manager.
apt install python3-gi python3-gi-cairo
with Wayland support
apt install gtk-layer-shell
pacman -S python-gobject libappindicator-gtk3
with Wayland support
pacman -S gtk-layer-shell
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 by running discover-overlay --configure
Desktop shortcuts for both of these are added at install time.

For developers and translators translation information can be found on our Wiki.
We welcome pull requests and bug reports about missing or wrong translations, but don't have the resources to get it all right. Please be patient with us and alert us if any translations are wildly inaccurate.
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. /s
Generally, no.
