Can't move the menu box

[Flesh]

So the base menu, don't know what it's called it shows the time and all the options for opening the windows, is stuck on my right hand now and i cannot seem to grab or move it in any way shape or form. This is very distracting during gameplay and there seems to be no fix. I have followed all directions for setup, but it's stuck there. It looks like a error because you're meant to use your right hand to activate the menu but the right hand is on the menu? if that makes any sense. It's hard to explain and I don't know how to take screenshots with the Quest 2 so i'm pretty much ♥♥♥♥ out of luck.

Reloaded OVR and now the menu is stuck in front of my left hand, with no way to interact with it. I can't be the only one who see's how much of a buggy mess this is?

Fixed everything but apparently minimizing twitch chat or moving it AT ALL on your desktop causes the entire window to break FOREVER, forcing you to close the window, and configure another one. There's also no way to set it up so twitch chat auto loads on start up (even if said chat is open already)

SteamVR seems to have a way better system for this, big oof.

Hi there!

What browser are you using for the chat? Chrome?

I haven't personally witnessed windows becoming decoupled/lost so far, let me know the steps to reproduce that, will gladly look into it. The chat should also reload on re-opening the program, remember you can use OVR Toolkit's built in browser for better reliability too via the 'Custom URL' or 'Twitch chat viewer' Workshop items! This means Chrome doesn't need to be open at the same size and with the same window title. :)

(For example, are you moving it between monitors? Is part of the chat now off-screen? Did you resize it? etc.)

If it helps, OVR Toolkit uses this info to find a window after restarting:
- Window title
- Window resolution (X, Y)
- Process name

It'll search in this order:
- Exact window title and window resolution.
- Partial window title (last 5 characters) and exact window resolution
- Largest window with the same process name
- Any window with the same process name
- Any window with matching last 5 characters of the window title

Generally speaking this is rather reliable! With something like Chrome your mileage may vary though as window titles rarely stay the same, you may resize it, and there's like 50 different processes running.

I'm using an in hour app to host the chat, it works fine I managed to reset the whole UI, there was some issues like if I mess with the box that is being streamed to my arm (minimize or anything like that) it breaks the box.

ALSO in regards to your response in the other thread, I could not replicate it. It seemed like the box was stuck to my right hand RIGHT above it so the right hand cursor was on the box but couldn't select anything. I could not move it with my other hand. Thanks for the help, it's just been a lot. Setting up VR + streaming + virtual desktop is rough.

Glad you got it working though! Let me know if you have any other issues.

As for it losing the window when minimizing it, the best way to look at it is that it can only capture what is actually visible somewhere on the desktop. If you minimize a window then it stops that window from updating on your desktop and in VR too. :)
