Hello, I have seen that you programmed this plugin with AutoHotkey!
I'm also an ahk user and have one problem with the OBS-HUD.

I use some obs docks and your OBS-HUD on a second monitor to view if streaming is on or off, which scene is active and the chat.
I have a hotkey which enables with ahk a black "progress bar" on top on every window (alwys on top) on the second monitor. This progress bar filles the whole screen. So only when I want to see new chat messages or something else, I disable the black progress bar.
The problem is, the green streaming dot from your OBS-HUD is always on top, even on top of the ahk black progress bar, even if the bar itsels is set to alwys on top.
It is also strange, that the red dot for recording, is under the black progress bar.
Why this different behaviour between green and red dot?
Could you please make the green dot not making always on top?

The always-on-top window style of the OBS-HUD icons is intentional. Disabling that style would cripple the core design objective of creating the most reliable visual indicators of OBS status possible. AOT applications are just not suited to be run in the same screen space, as their competition for z-order priority will cause these display issues. The fact that one OBS-HUD icon shows above your progress bar application and another shows below is a perfect example. I can't explain why the z-order is working out that way, and there are innumerable possible configurations for other users I would have no way to test or understand. At this time I don't see a feasible change in OBS-HUD to address this issue.

I like this very much! :)
But one thing is anoying. I start this HUD automatic with windows.
But I am not always running OBS. When OBS is NOT running, I see always the stream and record dots. They just dissapear. when I start OBS. And then when I record or strem they appear back as they should.
Could you make it so, that the dots are not displayed, if OBS is not running?

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad the tool is useful for you.

I will look into adding an option to hide the icons even when OBS is not running.

A great app is what I was looking for! Add only the video recording time display!

Thank you for the feedback.

I will look into the possibility of a time display feature.
