Performance Overlay

This is a very simple application that requires Rivatuner Statistics Server Download and provides asthetics of SteamOS Performance Overlay.

Uninstall MSI Afterburner and any other OSD software.

It currently registers two global hotkeys:

  • Shift+F11 - enable performance overlay
  • Alt+Shift+F11 - cycle to next performance overlay (and enable it)

It also supports command URIs (used by the Xbox Game Bar widget in this fork):

  • steamdecktools-performanceoverlay://mode/fps
  • steamdecktools-performanceoverlay://mode/fpswithbattery
  • steamdecktools-performanceoverlay://mode/battery
  • steamdecktools-performanceoverlay://mode/minimal
  • steamdecktools-performanceoverlay://mode/detail
  • steamdecktools-performanceoverlay://mode/full
  • steamdecktools-performanceoverlay://cycle
  • steamdecktools-performanceoverlay://show
  • steamdecktools-performanceoverlay://hide
  • steamdecktools-performanceoverlay://toggle

Equivalent command-line switches are available:

  • --mode <fps|fpswithbattery|battery|minimal|detail|full>
  • --cycle
  • --show
  • --hide
  • --toggle

There are 5 modes of presentation:

1. FPS

2. FPS with Battery

3. Minimal

4. Detail

5. Full
