14 Chat Overlay themes
The Chat page splits themes into two groups: Latest Theme and Other Chat Themes.
All themes use the same data source and the same Customize settings. Only the look changes. Switching themes doesn't erase any settings, so you can try as many as you like.
Latest Theme
Eleven themes added in the big March 2026 update:
| Theme | Look |
|---|---|
| HUD | Game interface, technical lines and panels |
| Manga | Comic panels with speech bubbles |
| Arcade | Pixels and bright colors like old-school games |
| Aura | Soft gradients and glow |
| Cyberpunk | Neon, high contrast, dark futuristic feel |
| Elegant | Neat, calm, clean typography |
| Glass | Translucent frosted glass effect |
| RPG | Classic role-playing game dialog box |
| Scroll | Parchment scroll |
| Street | Graffiti and street style |
| Terminal | Console screen, monospace text |
Other Chat Themes
The three original themes that have been there from the start:
| Theme | Look |
|---|---|
| Classic Theme | Standard, neutral chat layout |
| Fashion Theme | Stylish, suits fashion and beauty content |
| Calm Theme | Soft colors that don't draw too much attention |
The dashboard also shows a note, "✨Stay tuned for more exciting themes...", so this list is still growing.
How to choose
A few practical things to consider:
- Busy background? Themes with solid panels such as HUD, RPG, or Terminal keep text readable over gameplay. Transparent themes such as Glass and Aura need a calm background.
- Busy live? Compact themes fit more messages in the same space. Themes with large panels such as Manga take up more room per message.
- Match your content. Arcade and RPG suit gaming lives. Elegant and Fashion suit casual or beauty content.
Switch themes, then use the Simulator Panel in the Interaction Center (Comment tab) to send test comments. You can check the result in OBS without any viewers.
Each theme has its own overlay address. After switching themes, copy the overlay link again and update the Browser Source in OBS. Otherwise the old theme keeps showing.
