Which programming language should I choose for creating an overlay toolbar?

Asked By CreativeCoder42 On

I'm developing an AutoHotkey program, and I want to include a circular toolbar similar to what's seen in games like GTA 5. This toolbar needs to overlay fullscreen applications. Unfortunately, I've encountered limitations with AutoHotkey as it doesn't support fullscreen topmost displays. I've managed to create buttons, but I'm aiming for a more graphical interface, focusing on text instead of icons. I'm considering using Python with Tkinter since I've had previous success with a topmost program, but I'm uncertain about how it will perform with fullscreen apps and how to achieve a similar graphical UI. Any suggestions?

Have you thought about using .NET along with the Windows API for handling hotkeys? It could give you more control over the overlay, but be cautious since you might still run into fullscreen rendering issues.

Yeah, that's a good point. The rendering method can definitely affect how well it overlays, so testing it out is essential.
