## Getting Started
## Getting started
Upon launching Envision, you will need to select a profile on the bottom of the left side bar.

Monado does not have a launcher app, and so after connecting your headset, you will likely see a solid color. This means you can now start your VR title.
You may want to launch [WlxOverlay-S](/docs/fossvr/wlxoverlay-s/) first and use it to access your desktop and other VR titles. You can even start it automatically alongside the Monado session: just enter `wlx-overlay-s --openxr` into the "Autostart" field of your Envision profile.
You may want to launch [WlxOverlay-S](/docs/fossvr/wlxoverlay-s/) first and use it to access your desktop and other VR titles. You can even start it automatically alongside the Monado/WiVRn session, by enabling it in the [Plugins](#plugin-system) menu.
## Plugin system
The plugin system for Envision allows you to launch anything (usually OpenXR overlays) alongside the Monado/WiVRn session.
Open the Plugins window by clicking the kebab menu (three dots) at the top of the Envision window, and clicking "Plugins". Here, you can install overlays like [WlxOverlay-S](/docs/fossvr/wlxoverlay-s) or [Stardust XR](/docs/fossvr/stardust) (or a custom plugin — see below). After installing plugins and toggling them on, once you start a profile, the enabled plugins will start alongside it.
Plugins are the replacement for the "autostart" feature from older versions.
### Adding a custom plugin
The plugins included in the store are just a quick front-end to the latest release AppImages. For everything else, you can create a custom plugin that runs any given executable script or binary.
For example, if you installed WlxOverlay-S from AUR or built it from source, you can disable the original WlxOverlay-S plugin and create a custom plugin to run it:
1. Create a new file `~/.local/bin/wlx-but-newer` (creating the `~/.local/bin` directory if it does not exist).
2. Give it the content:
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
/usr/bin/wlx-overlay-s --openxr
```
3. `chmod +x ~/.local/bin/wlx-but-newer`
4. In Envision, open the Plugins window.
5. Add a custom plugin by clicking the ➕ plus button.
6. For the executable file, point it to the script you just created.
7. Name the plugin "Wlx but newer".
8. Save, and then enable the new plugin.
Now starting the profile will also start your custom or AUR version of WlxOverlay-S.

### Full body Lighthouse tracking
Full body is now provided by default in Monado & OpenComposite through the XR_MNDX_xdev_space OpenXR vendor extension. This allows any tracked "xdev" in Monado to be forwarded as a raw pose without bindings to applications. OpenComposite exposes these as fake Vive FBT trackers for use.
