"If I'm not missing something else, you should be able to see the background being a few pixels misaligned." - Yes, that is correct.

Now, the only remaining issue with Stream friendly mode on my end is that misalignment issue. Previously, the only way I could fix it was by using that "Windows scaling workaround" I mentioned, which was too cumbersome and time-consuming. Fortunately, thanks to the new feature, I can now use the Still background button to mitigate this selection issue (for manga, for instance), which makes it much less annoying. I'm really glad that feature is available! 

Thanks for all your help.

Just dropped v0.5.4-alpha.3

Still background is now really only meant to be used for visual novels. It still works for comics/manga but it will add extra processing time. I will sort out any misplacement issues soon I hope, I just need to spend time to actually attempt to fix it, lol.

The issues you had with no translations being done when using Still Background should now be fixed. I had also accidentally introduced a bug with the colour detections in one of the alpha versions. It is now also fixed.

And man, no need to thank me, you're the one doing me a great service!

Okay, so Stream friendly mode is finally working with Still background for both manga and games. I'm happy with this fix. While there's a small bit of extra processing time, it's not too bad and doesn't bother me, and it now translates the text when the image changes. It may be that Stream friendly mode only avoids misalignment when I use the Still Background feature, but even so, this is a great solution. I'm totally fine with this for now.

Unfortunately, this new update has introduced two bugs:
1. Manual capture mode only functions when Still background is active. If Still background is off, selecting text does nothing and no translation occurs.
2. In Automatic capture, if I hit Pause and try to select something new, the selection box is invisible, and it won't translate until I unpause. Also, the whole "translate while paused" thing only works if Still background is active, too. If it's off, no selection box, no translation. It didn't do this before; you could always select and translate while paused.

Uff. Releasing any build, even if just an alpha, is bad idea when short on time hah. I went on into the night and just pushed it up before hitting the sack.

I'll fix these issues and do thorough testing of everything today before releasing 0.5.4.

Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hey pal!

Released 0.5.4 yesterday. I definitely fixed the first bug, but I am not entirely sure if I fixed the other two issues. Either I did not fully understand how to reproduce the bug, or it's not there anymore. Could you confirm that it is gone or still there?

Thank you, as always, very much appreciated! :)

Hey there. 

Everything's working good now. The two bugs I mentioned are fixed. 

Thanks :)

Awesome! I just fixed the Stream Friendly misalign issue. I'll release a new alpha version later today ༼ ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

That's awesome. I'll be sure to test it out as soon as it's available (•̀ᴗ•́ )و

0.5.5-alpha.1 is out now! :) It only has this one change, unfortunately. Didn't have time to add anything else.

I have tested it and can confirm that there are absolutely no issues with Stream friendly mode anymore. It's working perfectly now. (੭˃ᴗ˂)੭

Woop woop! Happy to hear that.

I'll be releasing a new version today with the start of a dictionary system for GameTranslate. It will only have synonyms (sort of, lol) added for this version, and it will only be English. I will progressively add more functionality to it as the week progresses. Before 0.5.5 drops on Sunday, it should be more or less fully incorporated, with support for many more languages. I'm quite excited about it; it's the first step to adding language-learning functionality to the app. Let me know if you end up trying it out!
