No, you press shift and tab at the same time to make the overlay appear, and press it again to make it vanish.
"Irrelevant stuff" also includes both text and voice chat with your Steam friends.

I imagine new people coming to the forum expecting to see discussion about LEGO, only to see RPGs full of deranged characters and insane people talking about cheese and brains.
I'm beet. I don't think I'll do homework tonight.
So, you're a vegetable?

That'd be wrong. Any game will do, Steam version or not.
Minecraft doesn't even have a Steam version and it works fine.

How does it work then? Is it a case of 'if it has a Steam counterpart it'll work' type of thing, then(Aside from Minecraft)? Or is it something that gets added once you download steam/a game/sign up for steam/whatever?

Simple:
1. Download Steam client
2. Make Steam account
3. Click "Add a Game" on the Library page
4. Click "Non-Steam Game"
5. Find the game(s) you want
6. Choose them and click "Add Games"
You can now use the Overlay on those Non-Steam games. It should work for any game you own, even without Steam counterparts. To use the overlay, note that you have to boot the game through Steam from now on; otherwise it won't work ("It" being the overlay, not the game).
To use the friendslist and chat features you do need to buy at least one game through Steam, though. I'd personally get Portal and/or Portal 2, but I'll leave that to you.

It seems cool, but I don't play online games, so it isn't of use to me.

Canama: Huh; that is pretty interesting. I'm guessing Free Play games don't count, and it's literally buying one? =P(Not that I'd be able to do this anytime soon anyway... Given that I really need to upgrade my comp to even use Steam stuff.)

I think free games would work, as long as you get them through Steam. Not sure though.

I meant for activating the feature to begin with. =P But if that was the same answer, then okay then. =P
