Steam Overlay and Elemental

from Elemental Forums

As much as I love Stardock and will always buy a game off impulse over another DD if possible, steam has the better community features and I was wondering if Elemental will allow us to use the steam overlay with it. I had problems using the steam overlay with both Gal Civ 2 and Demigod (if anyone knows how to fix that I'd love you forever). Although I could add the games fine the shift-tab overlay didn't work. Thanks for answering/helping!

Quoting Tridus, reply 19

World of Warcraft has a "windowed but full screen" mode. It *looks* like full screen mode (in that it takes up the entire screen with frame or anything), but it functions like windowed mode in that you don't have to alt+tab to use other programs or things on the other monitor. It also has a normal windowed mode where you can move it around on the screen and such. There's a minor framerate hit for doing that, but most of the time it doesn't matter.

Something like that would be nice in Elemental too. Presumably we'll be able to see what type of controls they have in mind once beta hits.

I love that mode. It's one of those luxury things you really appreciate but rarely talk about. Hope Elemental's doing that too :-]

The steam overlay and the stardock overlay share the same hotkey which means the steam overlay with its default setting is likely to have problems with elemental.
