Second screen overlay
I have extended dual screen setup. I manage to create mirror overlay at my second screen. However, how can I toggle on and off overlay because currently the mirror overlay is enable all the time even without running any 3d/fullscreen apps. I try set keybind but it is not working.

I wish I can only enable second screen overlay after I launch games. Any advice?. Thanks

You can drag the finished widget onto the second monitor by holding down the CTRL key. The widget itself, if you have added it, can be configured above or below other windows in the Mirror overlay settings. It will always be displayed. In the Settings - General Settings menu, you can assign a key to enable or disable overlays, but this does not apply to the widget, only overlays that are in the background with a grid and without a special widget overlay.

You can make overlays appear only on the second monitor, but are not duplicated in the game. To do this, press the overlays off key or use a trick: select all overlays with the widget and drag them outside the background with the grid. And if you want to see other sensors in the game, for example, only FPS, then create an overlay and turn it on. Thus, there will be FPS in the game, and similar statistics on the second monitor. If you want to see only the widget on the second monitor and only when you start the game, then you need to create a separate scene in the Scenes - Scene Manager without widget overlay and assign hotkeys to the one with the widget there. When the game starts, press the key and the scene with the widget is loaded on the second monitor.

Hi. thanks. I manage to make new scene for only appear in second monitor after i press keybind. l

However, it seem a bug. I cannot disable the overlay after pressing keybind again. It close for a second and reappear again.

Edit: I make blank overlay with new keybind. That is the solution i came up with.

I also meant an empty second scene or with some small overlay without a widget overlay. Each scene has different keys and switch between them =)
