.SH NAME
mangoapp \- transparent background application with a built in mangohud
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBmangoapp\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
MangoHud is a Vulkan/OpenGL overlay for monitoring FPS, temperatures, CPU/GPU load and more.
.PP
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.
.SH USAGE
Create a script (e.g. \fBrun.sh\fR) containing the app you want to run (e.g. \fBvkcube\fR) and \fBmangoapp\fR like so:
.PP
.RS 4
.EX
#!/bin/sh
vkcube&
mangoapp
.EE
.RE
.PP
And then run it with \fBgamescope ./run.sh\fR.
