Description
MangoHud is a Vulkan/OpenGL overlay for monitoring FPS, temperatures, CPU/GPU load and more.
Mangoapp is a transparent background opengl application with a built in MangoHud. It's designed to be run
inside a gamescope instance which will display mangoapp ontop of gamescopes output. It also takes frame
information from gamescope. The purpose of this is to "easily" make MangoHud compatible with any
application, or at least any application that gamescope can run. This solves issues with some OpenGL
games and certain ports that have stdc++ issues as it's no longer directly injected into the game.
