mumble-overlay(1)

✨ mumble-overlay — the manual page bestie 💖

okay so you're reading mumble-overlay(1) from the General Commands Manual and honestly? slay. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

mumble-overlay — load OpenGL overlay for Mumble.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

mumble-overlay executable

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically this little wrapper right here loads the OpenGL overlay for Mumble into whatever application you want. that's the whole vibe. the way that you can just… see who's talking, even mid-fullscreen-game? iconic. literally works in fullscreen games AND applications, no cap. 💅

⚠️ heads up bestie: nothing will be shown unless you have Mumble running and it is currently connected to a server. so if you're staring at a blank overlay wondering where everyone is… yeah, that's why. 😭

💜 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 💜

• MUMBLE_OVERLAY_DEBUG — if you set this environment variable, extended debugging gets output to standard output. only useful for debugging, fr fr. it's giving "turn it on when things are weird, turn it off when they're not" 🔥

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

want to run glxgears with the mumble-overlay active? say less:

mumble-overlay glxgears

and that's it, that's the move ✨

🌈 NOTES 🌈

lowkey important: this will only work with OpenGL drivers which support the full OpenGL and GLX specifications. no GLX, no overlay, sorry babes 🧚
