A modification of the Mesa Vulkan overlay. Including GUI improvements, temperature reporting, and logging capabilities.

If you do not wish to compile anything, simply download the file under Releases, extract it, and run ./install.sh from within the extracted folder.

If you wish to compile MangoHud to keep up to date with any changes - first clone this repository and cd into it:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud.git
cd MangoHud

Then simply run the following command:

./build.sh install

This will build and copy libMangoHud.so & libMangoHud32.so to $HOME/.local/share/MangoHud, as well as copying the required Vulkan layer configuration files.

If you are running an Ubuntu-like distribution, Fedora, or Arch, the build script will automatically detect and prompt you to install missing build dependencies. If you run into any issues with this please report them!

Fedora: sudo dnf install mangohud

Arch: Install mangohud and lib32-mangohud with your favourite AUR helper. mangohud-git is also available on the AUR.

To enable the MangoHud Vulkan overlay layer, run :

MANGOHUD=1 /path/to/my_vulkan_app

Or alternatively, add MANGOHUD=1 to your shell profile.

MangoHud comes with a config file which can be used to set configuration options globally or per application. The priorities of different config files are:

1. /path/to/application/dir/MangoHud.conf
2. $HOME/.config/MangoHud/{application_name}.conf
3. $HOME/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf
4. $HOME/.local/share/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf

The default config file is installed to $HOME/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf and will not be overwritten by the script.

You can also customize the hud by using the MANGOHUD_CONFIG environment variable while separating different options with a comma. This takes priority over any config file.

A partial list of parameters are below. See the config file for a complete list.

Note: Width and Height are set automatically based on the font_size, but can be overridden.

Example: MANGOHUD_CONFIG=cpu_temp,gpu_temp,position=top-right,height=500,font_size=32

• MANGOHUD_OUTPUT : Define name and location of the output file (Required for logging)
• MANGOHUD_FONT: Change default font (set location to .TTF/.OTF file )

• F2 : Toggle Logging
• F12: Toggle Hud

When you toggle logging (using the keybind F2), a file is created with your chosen name (using MANGOHUD_OUTPUT) plus a date & timestamp.

This file can be uploaded to Flightlessmango.com to create graphs automatically. you can share the created page with others, just link it.

It's possible to upload multiple files when using Flightlessmango.com. You can rename them to your preferred names and upload them in a batch. These filenames will be used as the legend in the graph.
