Presentmon Overlay Questions

I’ve purchased a Pro license for HWiNFO64 and I’m now displaying my metrics via the PresentMon overlay. A few questions:
  1. The overlay isn’t automatically detected in games like cod-22-cod.exe (DMZ MW2) or cod.exe (Black Ops 6) — I have to explicitly assign the PID to see it. Is there a workaround?
  2. Can the values be shown in a single row instead of in columns - similar to RTSS OSD?
  3. Is there any way to tweak the spacing and layout within the overlay? I’m only showing values + units (no labels), but the surrounding darkened area (opacity) stays far too wide, even when I reduce the display area to 150 px.

thx for your input

Automatic targeting uses process with highest GPU load. Unfortunately for some titles this doesn't work properly as they don't reflect the load via DX interface.
The other requests are currently not supported.
 
I understand. Since I already use custom startup scripts for my games, it would be great if a future version of HWiNFO offered a command-line parameter to specify the process name in which the overlay should be shown. Even better, if HWiNFO could support passing such parameters to an already running instance (e.g. via IPC using named pipes or a similar mechanism), that would be ideal. This way, users could launch their games and dynamically assign the overlay target process without having to restart HWiNFO entirely.
