How come in everyone's screenshots, the overlay is clear. Mine has a white opaque background so it renders it unusable since it blocks the screen.

To lock the overlay, double click inside the overlay content.

So now can we get a website to create a community around this tool and create a giant Build Order Database so we can download builds and have a feature to import them? Or event a giant Database so we can view and manual type in the new build orders.

It's an important point, though. You could just put a post-it note on your monitor, sure; I don't think it's "cheating" at all, but if it's against ToS, which I'm pretty sure overlays are, it can get you banned from bnet.

Sorry OP, it's an awesome little tool, but I won't be using it unless I know for sure it's green. Plus I have two monitors.

So you can make those build orders cover your whole second screen, you cheater!
Tyles.772 Bobstar.223 I'm just disappointed they overhyped an announcement which would obviously cause a lot of backlash in the TL community. Sure they acquired huk, but they didn't have to rub it in our faces.

This hurts to read.

You're basing your entire point on absolutely no evidence. 'I think' was your strongest point of conviction.

get the ToS control+f "overlay"
please think.

Unlike other overlays that flash every 20 seconds to say build a worker or provide outside mechanical assistance to the game this just shows a build order. You could put it on sticky notes around your monitor if you want. This doesnt actually give someone any real advantage other than saying : look this is what you do up to 40 food and 3 minutes into the game

Cool app will definitely help with learning new BOs for sure.

It throws up unhandled exceptions pretty frequently for me, not sure why. Windows 7, everything latest.

Overlays, as far as I know, are against EULA and will give you a lot of trouble, because there's no actual way for the client to realise it's not doing something like revealing cloaked shit, or removing fog of war.

This looks like a really awesome tool to use for teacing someone new to Starcraft.

I was recently teaching my brother how to play. He has some video game experience but no RTS experience. Learning builds/strategies is nothing new. But watching him constantly have to look down at a peice of paper to see when he builds his next pylon, only to not watch the probe that walked right past his first pylon into the back corner of his base.....

Good for those who don't know a build and can work on both their awareness (looking at the overlay kind of like looking at the minimap) and the build itself at the same time. Eventually they won't need the overlay and can instead use this skill of constantly looking over at something to good use with the minimap.

Awesome work, I'll definitely be using this; much better then keeping it in a notepad document
