[[Image:Overlay example.png|right|Sample overlay]] Mumble provides a very handy and customizable overlay. To configure it go to Configure --> Settings --> Overlay option.

~~Sample settings are provided below~~ that will ~~put~~ the ~~overlay near~~ the ~~top left corner~~, ~~fitting in one person just perfectly if you've got~~ the ~~left-side menu narrow (sample to~~ the right). ~~If more than one person talks they might overlap your Current Location info. '~~'~~Be sure~~ to ~~disable the "Always Show Self" option after you've played with where the overlay goes~~.''

Mumble, being the awesome program that it is, shows in this window an example of what the overlay will look like on your current desktop, as well as instructions on how to alter it.  One position that works very well is just to the right of the current location name, like the screenshot on the right.  You could even put it above the current location, but then - for me at least - it's too small to see easily.

Overlay ~~not showing up? Make sure~~ you ~~start Mumble before starting~~ the ~~Eve Online Client~~.

The default setting is for the Overlay to display the name of everyone currently in the channel.  As you can imagine, this gets unwieldy very quickly.  To change this, right-click on the small example overlay in the window, choose Filter >, and tick ''Only talking''.  Also untick ''Always show yourself,'' otherwise your name will constantly be displayed on the overlay.

~~[[Image~~:~~MumbleOverlaySettings~~.~~png|Sample overlay]]~~

The ''Edit...'' option on the right-click menu produces a detailed configuration screen where you can change pretty much anything you like about the overlay: colours, sizes, backgrounds, avatars, etc.

~~'''Note:''' In 1.2.3-rc2, setting up the~~ overlay is ~~a bit different. The developers added a way to move around the overlay on your screen~~, ~~but in doing so also made it harder to set the "Only talking" option~~. ~~Go to Configure - Settings and pick the Overlay option, then right-click on the Overlay preview (see image), hover over "Filters", and select "Only show talking"~~.

If your overlay is not showing up, you must have started EVE after Mumble. If necessary simply restart EVE.

=== Overlay in Linux ===

=== Overlay Settings File ===

If you don't want to go through the Overlay settings, or feel like taking the easy way, I have uploaded a settings file [http://www.filedropper.com/e-uni here], which will make your overlay look like the one in the screenshot above right.

*Follow the link above to save it to a handy location on your computer.

*Go to the Overlay settings as explained above.

*Click the ''Load...'' button near the top, navigate to and select the file, click ''Open''.  Click ''Apply ''or ''O''''K'''''in the bottom of the Settings window.

*You now have a fully functioning overlay!

I'm not sure how this will behave with different resolutions or screen settings, so if you have any problems with it you can choose the Restore Defaults button in the bottom of the Settings screen to reset the options.

=== Overlay on Linux ===

To actually display the overlay over Eve in Linux after you've enabled it in Mumble's settings you need to have Mumble launched first and then run '''mumble-overlay''' in front of the wine command that you use to launch Eve. For example:

To Enable the overlay goto Preferences and Click overlay top right button. Click the enable overlay tickbox on the top left corner of the window then using the screen display below drag and size the overlay position to a point on a screen that you feel comfortable with. The red spot moves the anchor of the overlay. You can change the size of the name displayed using mouse scroll wheel.

=== Version 1.2.3 ===

==== Version 1.2.3 ====

The new 1.2.3 ~~RC2~~ has a working overlay. Claims that sound from the game won't work are unfounded. After dragging the Mumble Icon out of the dmg which mounts after your download to your folder of choice, right click the icon and choose "Show Package Contents" Navigate to the following folder:

Launch the package and run the installer. Restart mumble and enable your overlay! Launch Eve as normal; no command line is necessary.
