🏷️ New names, same overlays

  • 🟢 Essential (was MSI Edition): RTSS + MSI Afterburner only, no HWiNFO
  • ⚡ Volt (was the original overlays): adds HWiNFO for 12V-2x6 / 12VHPWR cable monitoring and VRAM temperature
  • 📱 Monitors & Widgets (was Apple Style Monitor): Rainmeter skins for your second screen, case screen and desktop

Only the names changed. Files now start with essential_ or volt_, so they're easy to tell apart in OverlayEditor's Load list.

Which zip do I download?

  • Essential.overlays.<your resolution>.zip: 🟢 Essential
  • Volt.overlays.<your resolution>.zip: ⚡ Volt
  • Volt.overlays.TV.<resolution>.zip: TV Pill and TV Side
  • TV.overlays..zip: TV Pill and TV Side (no HWiNFO needed)

🔧 Fixed: 4K 1.5x / 2x overlays and TV Pill 4K now show their rings, meters and panel correctly.

Had the old files? Delete the old msi_…, sleek…, performance_overlay…, island_bar… and tv_… files from your Overlays folder so nothing shows twice. Full guide: Switching from the old names.
