Windowed fullscreen, 1440p, second monitor — anything that breaks

Running 1440p on a 27" main with a second monitor for Discord. Windowed fullscreen because exclusive fullscreen alt-tabs like a slideshow on this box.
Overlay drawing fine in windowed, or does it need exclusive? And does the second monitor cause issues with where it draws.

Closed threadOverlay draws on the game window, not the desktop, so the second monitor's irrelevant. Windowed fullscreen is fine and honestly the more common setup.
Good, that was my main worry.
Exclusive fullscreen can behave oddly with overlays on some drivers, so you're already on the safer option. Don't switch unless you have to.
Alt-tab is bad enough that I won't.
If boxes ever look offset it's usually the game resolution not matching the desktop or DPI scaling on the main display. Set both to 100% and native res and it lines up.
DPI's already 100, but noted if it happens.
Also don't run the overlay across the monitor boundary in windowed mode, it gets weird. Keep it on the game window.
