Set Font Size of FPS counter

[shak59]

Steam Overlays FPS counter on 4k and in VR is tiny. Please allow a way to set it's font size in options to make it easier to see for people with vision problems.

Thanks.

So for me, the .LAYOUT file resets when restarting steam / rebooting pc. Set the file to readonly and it still resets every reboot.
Any thoughts from anyone or am i creating an autorun .bat file? haha

good suggestion, some options to scale the steam overlay fps counter would be very welcome

+1 to this idea

Re the solution, it looks like the alignment should be fixed so that larger fonts can be displayed, if I read that right.

I don't know if this is still useful to you but I sort of found a solution that worked for me. I had the same issue as you. When I edited steam .layout file it would just get reverted back if I restarted Steam. What worked for me, and it might for somebody else, is that I'm using 'metro for steam' skin. Now you can just go to the skin folder instead >Program Files(x86)/Steam/skins/metro-for-steam-4.4(or any other skin that you might have)/resource/layout. Now if your theme doesn't have ingamefpsbanner.layout file just copy it from the main steam folder and edit it in the theme folder and steam won't touch it on the reboot.

Brilliant! Thank you!
For me, i really dislike that skin and way prefer the default.
So, i looked at what folders and files were in the metro skin, copied those same files and folders from the main steam directory, and put them into a new named folder inside the skins directory.
It worked! i now have default skin and don't have to edit or replace that file every restart haha woo!

Thanks again Shadowheart!

Sorry for necroing but noone else has the information.

How can we remove "FPS" text after the numbers? I have an OLED screen and don't want it to be burned in after a while. Since the numbers dynamically changing, they do not pose such problem but fixated "FPS" text is problematic.

You probably can't remove that, I'd suggest you to use Afterburner and leave nothing but the fps counter on the screen.

Don't think you can either.
When you increase font to a certain size the "FPS" disappears and is replaced with a "..." which is a bit better.

does this still work? i have changed all 3 fonts and the size of the fps counter hasn't changed

This is wonderful.
I managed to get text size to 26, left align, and 0 margin and it works perfectly.

Yes, I changed the font size of all 3 to 35, margin=0, & align=right

The text "fps" is no longer visible but I can actually read the numbers now

I keep getting it reset every time I start my computer again. I use an application called FPS Monitor and it fills the void.

https://fpsmon.com/en/ - The free version has a little overlay at the bottom, but everything works including saving layout configurations.

Here are a couple of screenshots that show its powerful features.

There are also many free alternatives today: NVidia FrameView, Intel PresentMon...

Is the Intel PresentMon Github version pretty stable?

[hexaae]

Stable? Yes... won't crash. Some games won't correctly open the overlay yet, but that's a common issue with any FPS monitor.
...Or you can use this https://game.intel.com/story/intel-presentmon/
