Enable and Toggle Composition Overlays

Activating the Overlay

Composition Shaders adds visual guides to your screen to help frame shots. To enable the overlay, look for the shader settings menu accessible through your graphics options or shader configuration panel. The overlay should appear as a semi-transparent grid or guide system on your screen.

Toggling On and Off

Once enabled, you can toggle the composition guides on and off using a keybind (typically configurable in your controls menu). This lets you quickly compare your framed shot with and without the guides, helping you verify your composition before taking a screenshot or starting a recording.

Adjusting Visibility

If the overlay is too faint or too prominent, check the shader settings for opacity or alpha controls. You can usually adjust how transparent the guides appear, making them subtle enough to not interfere with your view while still providing clear framing assistance.
