I have met several other programs that change the state of game windows and draw elements on top of games and do not seem to ban anyone for this. But these interactions were with windows, not fullscreen games.

If a borderless game is enough for you, then in the current version you can disable Quick Actions and enable `ClickThrough = True’.

Also, speaking of fullscreen mode, I will need to spend a lot of time in order to figure out how to integrate into the process and draw my windows. At the moment, I have already spent a lot of time to update the OBSNotifier to the latest version .NET and add more modules.

I will try to add support for rendering notifications in fullscreen, and if I can find a ready-made solution for embedding my notifications in games, it will happen much faster. But I haven’t been able to find anything yet.

The only solution I already have is to bypass Windows security restrictions and pretend to be a lock screen… This allows you to draw notifications on top of DirectX games in an optimized fullscreen (win 10, like win + space language switch or media notifications). I will probably release this separate program with the next version.

What about just adding a sound (maybe also making it customizable) to the notification when a recording starts or ends - similar to what the PS4 does when you save a recording. Even if you can't get it to work with fullscreen games, I don't think adding a sound for starting/ending a recording should be problematic. Would that work?

Sound notifications are planned for the next version. But I still haven’t decided on a set of sounds.

Oh that's cool! Whenever that version comes out I'll very likely grab this.

I've tried testing this software with the game Freedom Planet 2 in fullscreen out of curiosity (yesterday) and OBS Notifier works perfectly fine. Notifications display properly even while the game's in fullscreen. Just thought I'd say this as I guess it works for certain games

Most likely, this game runs in borderless mode. That is, like a regular window, but without a borders/frame. Many games have this mode.
