RTSS Overlay Editor Megathread

Yeah makes sense. It just got imported that way by HWinfo. Anyway, everything is working now.

 

If interested I put a download link for 170+ bars,gauges etc that can be used with animation timer.I done most up in paint or downloaded some from the net and resized them. So some good ones some crap ones but ones you may like or not.I have hundred more but did not post them.
They can also be used in Aida sensor panels for PC,Tablets,small screens or what ever.

Or you can do stuff like this.Quick Pacman overlay

 

that is pretty awesome.

 

Thanks,did it in paint.net screwing around for fun.

 

Apologies, but I'm a bit confused -- to use this "OverlayEditor" in conjunction with RTSS, I had thought we had to download MSI Afterburner. Is it now available as a stand alone app to download alongside RTSS or have I misunderstood something? I'm trying to migrate over to using the overlay editor from HWiNFO64 as that overlay appears to have a number of issues for whatever reason when importing data from RTSS. Thanks,

Googing around for "RTSS OverlayEditor Download" brought me here, but I see users download MSI Afterburner to configure these kinds of overlays all the time (I used to use that app myself, just asking if now there's another way since in the images I don't see the Afterburner window open, just RTSS windows). Thanks,

 

Does the HWinfo data import require the paid shared memory sensor support? The one that shuts off in 12 hours with the free download.

 

as you say it. HWInfo shut it off after 12h of continuous use, when you restart PC (maybe even HWInfo?) you 'll get 12h again.

 

Nothing too fancy as I'm just learning this but here is my simple-ish overlay for now.

 

I want a new OVL for my SteamDeck. Just like the default in SteamOs but working in Windows. Can you help?

 

I'm very disappointed, this thread was created to be a resource to look up information about RTSS OverlayEditor.
Now it's just another "Look what I have done!" and "Can you help me?" because users do not create their own thread for their issues but hijacking this one.

 

does anyone have an RTSS OSD like this for shared?

 

Wow! How did I not know this extension existed!?!

I have been using RTSS for many years, but I thought I always had to use something like HWiNFO to inject the stats. I always had a bland, single-color, text-only stats overlay.

Adding graphs and conditional colors makes noticing issues way easier. I am very happy with my new overlay! Thanks for developing this extension!

 

I figured I'd share a couple tricks I figured out.

• You can create horizontal lines in any color using a frametime bar graph with min and max set to 0.
  • This is nice for creating simple dividers between same-colored rows.
• If you're constrained on space, where 99% fits but 100% overflows, you can cap the data to 99% with the correction formula: x - x/100
  • Because of how integer division is implemented, 99.0 / 100 = 0 and 100.0 / 100 = 1, so only 100% gets reduced by 1 to 99%.

 

Thanks! I somehow missed that. However, setting height directly (in-pixels) will not work in all cases.

When RTSS is configured to one of the bottom corners, drawing a bottom border (i.e. with 19px font height: <P=1,19><B=1120,1>) causes the overlay to shift up one symbol height.



As a workaround, I can create a separate layer with symbol dimensions, then use text size to shrink the layer and Shift+Left to lower it into place. Following the previous example, with 19px symbol height, I can create a 112 symbol wide bottom border by making a <B=-2240,-1> layer with 5% text size and shrink layer to content, then shift+left 18 times. Thus the bottom offset is fixed.
