Overlay

The Overlay feature displays a customizable text field that remains visible above all running applications. This allows important information to always stay visible on the screen.

The content of the overlay text can be freely configured. Users can also customize the text and background colors to ensure good visibility in different environments.

The overlay can be freely positioned on the screen so it can be placed where it does not interfere with normal work.

This feature is particularly useful in environments with multiple computers or KVM systems, where many machines run similar applications or processes and can be difficult to distinguish from one another. By displaying identifying information directly on the screen, the overlay makes it easy to quickly recognize which system is currently in use.

Unlike the information wallpaper, which may be hidden by running applications, the overlay remains visible at all times, ensuring that the system can always be identified.
