Game mode

Game mode turns the SatomiChat window into a transparent overlay on top of your game: you read chat without minimizing the game, and clicks pass through the window into the game.

How to turn it on

1. 1Click the gear and open Game Mode.
2. 2Turn on the Game Mode switch. This only allows the mode.
3. 3Go back to the game and press Ctrl+G. The chat becomes transparent and sits on top of the game.
4. 4To exit, press Ctrl+G again.

When the mode turns on, the feed shows a hint with the shortcut to exit. Settings, the title bar, the message field and message menus are hidden in this mode.

Settings

Visible when the Game Mode switch is on.

• Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+G by default, the same as in keyboard shortcuts.
• Click-through: mouse clicks pass through the chat into the game. On by default.
• Background opacity: 0% means a fully transparent background; the higher the value, the more visible the window background.
• Text color and Text shadow (the shadow has its own color): so the text stays readable on any picture.
• Colored events: subscriptions, donations and raids stand out in color. On by default.
• Message background: a bar under each message. It has its own color (black by default), Opacity and Corner radius.
• Hide old messages: messages fade out after a set time, from 1 to 120 seconds. Off by default.

Reset to defaults restores everything except the shortcut and turns the mode off.

Game mode doesn't require a subscription.
