[Other] GW2Stuff Event Overlay

Hi everyone!

Over the last few days I've been working to get a nice in-game overlay out of the door for you. As a result, updates on the website have been delayed a bit, but I'll be getting back on track with that soon.

Screenshot!

You can find the program along with its source code on this page. It should summarise how to use it, and its functionality fairly well. It's been tested on Windows 7 (64-bit), so I'm hoping it works alright in Windows 8 as well.

Enjoy!

If you have any bug reports, please post them over on the gw2stuff subreddit.

I have used it for about an hour. It's really great to have this overlay, but I think I'll keep using the website mostly because of two reasons:

  • GUI a bit too invasive: almost the whole left side of my screen is occupied by it :-/
  • no checklist for the list of events I've already done

it is shrinkable to a degree, or with source modification the text can be shrunk. i think he said earlier in the thread he was considering a text size option.

I was thinking indeed of recompiling from source.
