Stonemite

Stonemite

EverQuest multiboxing PiP overlay tool for Windows.

Stonemite puts picture-in-picture thumbnails of your other EQ windows on top of your active game window, with click-to-swap, drag-to-reorder, hover highlighting, and character name labels.

Install

Download the latest release from GitHub Releases:

  • Installer (stonemite-x.y.z-setup.exe) — installs to Program Files, creates Start Menu shortcut, optional Windows startup
  • Portable (stonemite-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip) — extract and run anywhere

A system tray icon appears with access to all settings. Check for updates from the tray menu.

Build from source

Requires Rust (MSVC toolchain) and just.

just build           # debug build
just build-release   # release build

Target: x86_64-pc-windows-msvc

Release

just release 0.2.0

This bumps the version in Cargo.toml, builds a release binary, and packages it into dist/stonemite-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip. Then:

  1. Commit and tag: git add -A && git commit -m "Release v0.2.0" && git tag v0.2.0
  2. Push: git push && git push --tags
  3. Create a GitHub release for the tag and upload the zip

The app checks for updates against eqlaika/stonemite GitHub releases via the self_update crate.

Stonemite vs ISBoxer

ISBoxer has been the go-to multiboxing tool for years. It's also a bloated, overengineered relic built on top of Inner Space — a game injection framework from 2004. Here's how Stonemite compares:

Stonemite ISBoxer
Price Free, open source ~$50/year subscription for PiP windows
Setup Run the installer, done Endless wizard pages, Inner Space install, character slots, window layout configs
PiP overlays Native DWM thumbnails, click-to-swap, drag-to-reorder Video FX regions piped through a game injection layer
Character labels Auto-detected from EQ log files Manual per-character setup
Input broadcasting Not included Full key/mouse broadcasting and round-robin
Window management Auto-detects EQ windows, z-order stacking Window layouts with snapping and resizing
Resource usage ~5 MB single exe, no injection Inner Space + ISBoxer addon, injects into every game process
Updates One-click from system tray Manual download through Inner Space

When to use Stonemite: You want a PiP overlay that just works — no injection, no subscription, no 45-minute setup wizard. Launch it and go.

When to use ISBoxer: You need input broadcasting or you enjoy configuring software more than playing EverQuest.

Configuration

Config lives at %APPDATA%\Stonemite\config.toml. See config/example.toml for options.

Telemetry

Stonemite sends a single anonymous ping on each launch to help me understand if anyone is using the app. The payload contains only:

  • A random anonymous ID (UUID, not tied to your identity)
  • App version
  • Windows version

No personal information, EQ character names, or config details are collected. Telemetry can be disabled by setting telemetry = false in %APPDATA%\Stonemite\config.toml, or by checking "Disable anonymous usage telemetry" during installation.

Disclaimer

Stonemite does not inject into, modify, or interact with the EverQuest process in any way. It uses standard Windows DWM thumbnail APIs to display copies of your game windows — the same mechanism Windows uses for taskbar previews and Alt-Tab. This is significantly less invasive than ISBoxer, which injects into every game process via Inner Space and is widely used without issue.

That said, use Stonemite at your own risk. The author is not responsible for any account actions including suspensions, bans, or other consequences resulting from its use.
