  • hudkit

    transparent fullscreen click-through WebKit browser window, for making cool desktop HUDs (by valarnin)

  • ACT Overlays will always perform badly because of how wine handles transparency. It's recommend to use something else for overlays like hudkit or imgoverlay or just plain out normal browser window and use the overlay plugin to generate a URL in Plugins -> OverlayPlugin WSServer -> URL generator at the bottom that you can hook into the said programs. Dalamud overlays work fine because they draw into the game window itself instead of using window transparency but if you aren't using DXVK async they do cause a little bit of lag too. FFLogs has a native Linux client so it just works with no glaring issues.

  • imgoverlay

    Vulkan/OpenGL overlay renderer
