[REQUEST] Vulkan Support

[6xthFNGR]

Hey,

thanks for providing the app for free @lacymorrow !

One "minor" issue I got is the Vulkan support.
Other programs like HudSight offer it, so my best guess is that there is no technical reason to forbid it?
Major Valve games like L4D, CS, TF2, Portal etc. would benefit from Vulkan support so they could run in Fullscreen mode.

I would appreciate if you can incorporate that?

Thanks alot

Vulcan support is tricky because it's not supported by electron

[lacymorrow]

Vulkan fullscreen exclusive (like D3D exclusive fullscreen) bypasses the compositor entirely, so Electron's alwaysOnTop window can't appear above it — the GPU renders directly to the display framebuffer.

This would require CrossOver to inject a Vulkan layer (a .dll/.so loaded into the game process via Vulkan's explicit layer mechanism) to draw the crosshair inside the game's rendering pipeline. That's a fundamentally different architecture and significant engineering work.

Tagging as an enhancement for future consideration, but it's not something that fits the current Electron overlay approach.

Thank you for the follow up! I appreciate the technical explanation as it helped alot to see that this sounds like major changes/addons.
Thank you again for your product and I hope the best for you and your projects!
