# Performance Overlay
This is a very simple application that requires [Rivatuner Statistics Server Download](https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/rtss-rivatuner-statistics-server-download.html)
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:
