Functionality
• Green “REC” icon on a dark background during recording
• Red circular icon with white replay arrows displayed for 5 seconds when the replay buffer is saved

The script isn’t working for me. After importing it into OBS under Tools → Scripts, I don’t see any option to select which corner of the screen the recording icon should appear in (unlike the example screenshot). When I start recording, no overlay or icon appears at all.

I’m using OBS Studio 31 on Windows 10. My Python installation is version 3.13 (64-bit), which may not match OBS’s scripting requirements. If the script requires a specific Python version or Tkinter setup, please clarify that in the instructions.
I hope many people will like this indicator — it works really well. Many have dreamed of it, and we’ve finally made it
