Duckstation border overlay UltraWide and 1080p V4

This looks great on my 1080p monitor, thanks!

 

BTW, do you know if there are any tutorials on how to set up custom overlays? I can't seem to figure out what the values in the "Custom" tab do...

Values represent pixels. 

1.

One way to do it is with Paint.Net open your image point to top left corner of bezel starting point and look at bottom right corner of P.N where it says X/Y that is starting point.

Move mouse down to bottom right end of image bezel and look at point values again. That is end point.

-Problem with this is that it only gives basic points. Because duckstation stretches on specific formats 4:3,16:9 etc. So your bezel needs to adhere to that format.

-This values are also not perfectly correct due to formatting. You will need to do some manual correction. 

2.

Start a game any game in duck , Open settings in duckstation and leave it open. Now make DS fullscreen. Alt/Tab to settings tab. Click custom , load your bezel and start clicking and writing values in custom tabs to move and reposition image.

Look at image i attached as guideline

 

One of easiest ways to get proper empty space in your bezel is to take screenshot of the game in fullscreen (without bezel) and add to image editing tool as overlay on top of your bezel, position it to perfect center. Cut space in your bezel where screenshot image is and in theory it should fit 

 

P.S
There is a bug in duck with Export button in border. It will write ImagePath: instead of Image: inside .YML file.

So edit the file and change that

Thanks for the reply, I was able to take on my RetroArch overlays and use it.

 

But it seems that in DucksStation different games run at different resolutions/ratios so I can't just use a single overlays for everything.

Thats not quite right.  Maybe you made separate configs per game instead of global for all games so they behave differently? 

There is a folder "gamesettings" inside duckstation if it has files in it , it means you made separate configs per game. 
Its best to do global config not one by one.

You can just delete those files and start a new.
