Overlayed isn't showing up at all. Can't access settings or anything.

I'm running it on Windows (Windows 11 if that matters). I've authorized the app but I don't see anything when I right-click the taskbar icon and hit "Show Overlayed". I've tried all the other options too to see if I could at least see the settings but nothing comes up.

Hmmm are you able to open the devtools and see if there are any errors in main or settings

Nope. Can't even get the devtools to come up. I've tried reinstalling it and launching it as admin but neither of those two changed anything.

I'm not sure if uninstalling nukes the configuration dir but you could try that It's in your appdir folder, mobile right now so hard to guide you fully

Alright I'll give that a try So I've fully uninstalled it, restarted my computer, and then reinstalled it but I still get nothing. The only 2 things I can do via the taskbar icon is pin it and quit. None of the other options are doing anything for me.

nothing, the only thing i can access is the overlayed right click menu by clicking it in the system tray, it doesnt show up with an overlayed application, and none of the options in the tray menu like show settings, devtools, pin or show work except for quit
