# WlxOverlay-X

WlxOverlay-X is the OpenXR edition of WlxOverlay, the tool that lets users interact with their X11 or Wayland desktop from inside VR.

It supports a vast variety of desktop environments, and comes with a fully customizable keyboard.

WlxOverlay-X works on any runtime that implements EXTX_OVERLAY. Currently this is limited to Monado-based runtimes.

WiVRn users: while WiVRn supports EXTX_OVERLAY, it does no frame composition on the server side, so overlay apps can have ghosting issues.
