Interface Tour

What each section of the OBScure sidebar does

Verified for OBScure v0.5.1

Interface Tour

OBScure's sidebar is split into a few fixed sections, always in the same order.

Dashboard

A grid of removable/re-addable cards giving an at-a-glance view of your stream: currently-playing track (Spotify/Windows Media) and Twitch stats (live status, viewer/follower/subscriber counts, category, uptime). Drag cards to reorder them; use + to add back a card you removed.

Overlays

Your list of overlays (and folders of overlays), each one a separate scene graph built in Scene Builder — see the dedicated Scene Builder section for the node editor itself. Right-click an overlay or folder for rename/delete/icon options; folders can be nested for organizing a large overlay collection. Deleting a folder does not delete the overlays inside it.

Tools

The live, running state of OBScure's two built-in on-stream games — Random and Roulette. This is where you configure range/count for Random or the entry command/points reward/duration for Roulette, and trigger rounds by hand. See Tools for the full walkthrough, and the Tools node reference for how to actually display them on an overlay.

Actions & Queues

A shared registry of chat Commands, named Actions (each plays one Scene Builder scene and can be triggered by a chat command or from Streamer.bot), and the Queues each Action lands in. See Actions & Queues.

Data

  • Variables — named, typed values shared across every scene (see Data).
  • Event Log — a live, running feed of everything happening inside the app (alerts, chat, redemptions, roulette/random state, action-queue activity, custom overlay triggers, integration status, Streamer.bot triggers).

Integrations

One page per connectable service — Twitch, YouTube, Spotify, Streamer.bot, OBS, Windows Media — each showing its connection status and its own setup fields. See Integrations for what each one does and how to connect it.

Settings

General, app-wide (not per-overlay) settings: window behavior, the overlay server's host/port, the stream canvas' reference resolution, appearance (theme/language, including uploading a custom theme or language file), and a link back to the onboarding walkthrough. See Profiles & Settings.

The profile switcher and title bar

The title bar carries the profile switcher (see Getting Started), a theme toggle (light/dark/system), and a language switcher for the app's own interface — independent of which locale you're reading these docs in.
