Hey there! I’m currently playing Guild Wars 2 using Whisky, and it’s working like a charm. I decided to add Blish Hud, but I’m running into an issue. It opens in a separate window instead of overlaying on top of Guild Wars. Does anyone have tips on how to get it to display correctly? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey! Just a quick note, I installed Whisky and GW2 on my Mac recently too. By the way, how are you getting Blish Hud to run since it’s a .exe file?
Honestly, I’m not sure what’s wrong, but I recommend joining their Discord and asking there. The community can often provide better insights!
Blish Hud shows up in a separate window on any operating system. On Windows, there’s a trick that makes it stay on top and be transparent, allowing inputs to pass through. However, this method doesn’t work in Wine or Whisky, so you’re out of luck there. If you’re using Linux, you might be able to adjust your window manager settings to mimic that functionality. For Mac, you could try finding ways to add alpha channel transparency to windows. Additionally, checking out Blish’s Discord or GitHub might lead to some insights!
I added the .exe file to the pinned items in the GW2 bottle in Whisky. But fair warning, Wine typically struggles to render over GW2 on Macs, so don’t expect it to work perfectly!
