This release adds a Transparent keys option, for an overlay that shows only the outlines of your keys over the game.

New

  • Transparent keys. A new switch in the Theme section removes the fill from idle keys, so only the outline and label show and your scene stays visible behind them. Pressed and held keys still fill with the pressed color, so every input stays easy to read on stream.
  • The mouse follows the same style. Its body, buttons, wheel, side buttons, and movement indicator become outlines, and a click fills only the button that was pressed, never the wheel or side buttons drawn on top of it.
  • The setting is saved per profile and is off by default, so existing layouts look exactly as before until you turn it on. Switching it off again restores your idle key color.

Tips

  • The default Border idle color is a dark gray chosen to sit on a filled key. Over a dark game, pick a brighter Border idle color (and Text idle color) so the outlines stand out.
  • If an OBS Browser Source still shows filled keys after the update, open its properties and click Refresh cache of current page.
