About Screen Overlays
IMPORTANT: Screen Overlays is available in two editions, "Free" and "Pro". When you install this app, you get the "Free" edition. To have the "Pro" edition, you need to install also "Screen Overlays Pro (unlock)" that will unlock all the features. Read below to understand the differences between the two editions.
WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH "SCREEN OVERLAYS":
- patch single areas of your screen to make it look uniform (remove uneven spots and stripes)
- balance the screen colors (make it look warmer, colder, darker, remove defects like a yellow tint or a pink tint)
- apply a timed activation to the overlays (for example, you like to read on your device at night and you want to apply a "Reading Mode" overlay only at certain times to avoid eye strain)
"FREE" EDITION FEATURES:
- add up to 1 overlay
- add up to 2 shapes per overlay
- for each shape, define the kind (rectangle or ellipse), color, opacity, style (solid or gradient), size, position and rotation
- for each overlay, decide if it's always active or define its activation and deactivation times
- change the visibility of each overlay and each shape within an overlay
- assign a custom name to each overlay
- duplicate an overlay to have a starting point for a new one
- decide if an overlay or shape must be displayed on top of others by dragging them up and down in the list
- quickly make the overlays visible or invisible through the Screen Overlays notification (some apps' buttons don't work with an overlay on top of them, so you can temporarily disable the overlays, push the button and then enable them again)
- automatically start on boot to make Screen Overlays active as soon as you start your device
- test the visible overlays and visible shapes to see how they look on a plain background
- decide the background color of the positioning and test screens
- security feature to disable Screen Overlays (if the overlays are too opaque and don't let you see behind them, use the power button of your device to switch off and on the screen 5 times and the app will be disabled)
"PRO" EDITION FEATURES:
- add unlimited overlays
- add unlimited shapes per overlay
- all the other features of the "Free" edition
REQUIRED PERMISSIONS EXPLANATION:
- SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: this allows the app to display the overlays on the screen (the main purpose of the app)
- RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: this allows the app to start on boot if this setting is active

Lifesaver! I messed up my screen physically and it became very annoying to use. Luckily I found this app and after setting up some gradient shapes my phone is usable again! Nice modern interface too!

Thank you guys this app helped me so much. All you need to do is install the app then turn off its permissions from the "apps that can appear on top" and then you'll able to allow permissions for all apps. Thank you so much this fixed the screen overlay problem on my samsung A7.

Works great! Use it to put a screen overlay right above the capacitive buttons of my Axon 7 so I know right were they are at night. Reading other reviews, I'm not sure everyone understands what this app is for... But it works well when you know what it is supposed to do.
