Need some advice about creating game overlay in Linux

Hi. I've been learning Rust for a while, and I want to take on an actual project now to learn even more. I need to be pointed in the right direction for one aspect of the affair, and I hope someone here can help me.

I want to create a deck tracker for Hearthstone that runs natively in Linux. This is, on the back end, a fairly simple matter of parsing a constantly updated file that tracks everything that happens in the game. On the front end, however, I want to create a window that sits on top of the fullscreen Hearthstone window and shows me stuff. The "stuff" doesn't have to be images or anything fancy, I'll take whatever I can get, but I don't know how to get started on this part.

So the task is as follows: Create an overlay on top of the fullscreen Hearthstone client, preferably under Wayland, and update it constantly with new information about cards drawn, cards left in deck, that sort of thing.

How do I tackle this problem? Are there any crates that'll let me create such a window and render stuff to it? How would you approach the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Having to select my single account from a "list" of 1 account when logging in is madness

This new account selection screen that pops up every single time I visit my inbox is driving me insane. I only have one account. Why do I need to see this account selection screen? What possible benefit could my having to click through that screen have for me or for Proton?

I don't understand what kind of sick, warped mind would devise such a thing.

It's like forcing me to pick my car from a list of one car when I click on the unlock door button on my car key in the morning.

It's like a voice asking me which of my one phone I want to make a call from when I dial a number on that very phone.

It's madness. Absolute Lovecraftian soul-shattering insanity.

Please make this insane screen go away for users who only have one account.

Or make it a setting in my settings that I can toggle on and off.

Also, please make the login screen stop blinking BRIGHT WHITE multiple times during the authentication process. Why does it have to be white?? Of all colors, white!

It's like sadists work at Proton.
