Disable overlay only for specific games

The Discord overlay interferes with some functions in certain games, such as preventing the Steam overlay from opening in Rocket League while playing at non-standard resolutions such as 5760x1080. There is no fix for this other than disabling the Discord overlay entirely, which prevents it from appearing in games such as World of Warcraft where it doesn't cause issues. Hence, I am forced to constantly turn the overlay on and off depending on which game I'm going to play.

It would be a simple but effective solution to add an option to disable to overlay for certain games or even executables, say, in a manner similar to how the nVidia Control Panel handles game-specific performance settings.

Go to "Library"
Right click on the game you want to disable overlay for
Check the "Disable Overlay" box

Yes... Except it doesn't actually disable the overlay. It just prevents the overlay from showing, but it still causes the bug with the Steam Overlay at non-standard resolutions. I surmise that the "Disable Overlay" checkbox doesn't do anything other than preventing the overlay from rendering.
